1998 | Azienda Agricola Pira Luigi | Barolo Margheria

Delicate aromas of strawberries and cherries, with a hint of spice. Medium-bodied, with a powerful tannin structure that sneaks up on the palate. Long, caressing finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The dark plum-colored 1998 Barolo Margheria exhibits structure as well as a backward character. It is full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, offering notes of chocolate, black cherry liqueur, spice box, and earth.

• Wine Cellar: Full ruby-red. Nuanced nose combines roasted plum, sappy redcurrant and underbrush. Lush and sweet, but with a firm mineral spine giving the flavors noteworthy verve.

Producer Information

Established in the early 1950s, at first the estate only produced and sold grapes. Later on, wine was produced and sold in bulk to local negociants. Only a few years ago the estate started ageing and bottling its own wines. Giampaolo Pira recently took the reins at his family’s eight-hectare estate, overseeing the cellars while brother Romolo and father Luigi maintain the vineyards. Pira’s holdings are in the three most prestigious crus in the Serralunga commune: "Margheria," "Marenca," and "Rionda."
