The intense and brilliant colour perfectly expresses the polyphenols of a very successful Nebbiolo. On the nose it develops gradually its richness; the initially fruity and spicy aromas envelop notes of sour cherry and raspberry, while hints of cocoa and vanilla make the bouquet even more intriguing

Vinification
"Grape Varieties:100% Nebbiolo, and its two principal clones Michet and Lampia.
Viticulture & Vinification Details:
Pruning takes place in winter while later on the winegrower selects bunches to reduce the amount of fruits when still on the vine. This allows a better concentration of the grapes qualities for the wines. Fermentation took place at the Barolo wineries, using stainless steel tanks kept at a controlled temperature and following frequent pumping over stages.
Regional Information:
All the Pira’s vineyards are in the core of Barolo and the main ones are Cannubi, Cannubi San Lorenzo and Via Nova. The soil type can be described as calcareous marls, relatively compact and fresher. As a result the wines are softer and fruitier, and they age relatively rapidly for Barolos."
