New style barolo. Delicate, light, floral, feminine. Easy drinking missing a bit of power.

Fresh and vibrant on the nose after 49 years. Rose petals and potpouri.

Super light and pale in color.

Gamey, leathery, earthy and super elegent on the pallet.

A historic wine...1971 Pira Barolo, a blend of fruit from Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Prea, Vignane and Via Nuova, crushed by foot. A treat to taste this from a perfectly stored bottle at the winery. Wow... 😱😱😱

This Barolo is great! it went from dark cherries, forest soil through red currant and wild strawberries ended where it started on the nose, also got wood and vanilla in the end, lasted forever.

Understated. Approachable. Something you can drink amongst old friends.
