Description
A perpetually great-value wine, Pira's 2019 Comune di Serralunga Barolo bottling is both versatile and cellar-worthy. The depth and power of Serralunga is evident, yet polite, even at this early stage - Our Notes
"These are some of the very best wines I have tasted from Giampaolo Pira. What an exciting range this is. Pira's straight Barolo has long been terrific, as it is once again this year. The 2019 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is dark, sumptuous and super-expressive. A burst of dark red/purplish fruit opens first, followed by rose petal, lavender, blood orange and spice notes that add character. This is a superb village wine. Don't miss it." - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com
Despite a stern finish due to chalky, slightly dry tannins, this Barolo from Serralunga is delicious and with a very good quality price ratio. Classic sweet violets and fresh strawberries on the nose are allied to a full body and crisp acidity, with an austere finish now that may soften a bit with bottle ageing. Indeed, the wine was aged for 24 months in big oak casks so it deserves patience. Drink: 2024-2045. - 92 points, Aldo Fiordelli, Decanter
