The Luigi Pira 2016 Barolo Margheria is a soulful wine that opens to a floral bouquet marked by blue flower, pressed violet and lilac. Those aromas are wonderfully elegant and nuanced, and the wine sports a graceful and polished personality. Nothing is out of place. At the core, you get wild berry and cassis. Dig a little deeper to discover rusted iron or ferrous earth. Fruit is sourced from a 1.5-hectare site with classic Serralunga d'Alba calcareous clay soils that lend more structure and power to the wine. Some 7,000 bottles were produced, and I highly suggest you seek these out.

Rose, cherry and white pepper aromas and flavors highlight this silky, elegant red, which shows ample structure in the form of bright acidity and refined tannins. The fine harmony and terrific length complete the profile. Best from 2022 through 2040. 400 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
