| Over het wijnhuis | Luigi Pira is een zeer modern wijnhuis in het hart van Serralunga. De wijngaarden van Luigi Pira zijn gelegen op de beste cru’s van Serralunga d’Alba, waaronder de beroemde cru Vignarionda. De wijnen van Luigi Pira blinken uit door hun loepzuivere en uiterst harmonieuze stijl. |
| Wijngaard en regio | De druiven komen uit de cru Marenca, die in de commune Serralunga d’Alba ligt. De wijngaard is aangeplant in 1990 en ligt op 350 meter boven zeeniveau. De ondergrond bestaat uit kalksteen en klei. De wijngaard ligt op het (zuid)westen. |
| Vinificatie | De druiven vergisten in horizontale tanks onder gecontroleerde temperatuur voor 12-15 dagen. Daarna rijpt de wijn 24 maanden in eikenhouten vaten, deels kleine en deels grote vaten. |
| Kleur | Intens granaatrood. |
| Geur | Vers fruit, rode bessen, vanille, chocolade, aarde en kruiden. |
| Smaak | Geconcentreerd. Levendige, aanwezige, maar ronde tannines. Krachtig. |
| Serveren bij | Geweldig met een gegrilde bavette met daarover geschaafde truffel. |
| Serveertemperatuur | 15-18° C |

| Awards | "Aromas of rose stem and fresh herbs. Plums, too. Medium to full body. Chewy and polished tannins and a savory finish. A little rustic but should come out nicely in three or four years." - James Suckling "The 2019 Barolo Marenca is superb. Rich, ample and explosive, with tremendous depth, the 2019 has so much to offer. A rush of dark red-toned fruit, lavender, spice, iron and dried flowers saturates the palate. Bright acids and firm Serralunga tannins wrap it all together. The 2019 is exceptional." - Vinous "Bright ruby in the glass, Pira's Marenca 2019 shows a bright definition of liquorice stick with vibrant violet and a bergamot-like citrus note. The attack is elegant, refreshing and savoury, but then the palate is dominated by firm, grainy tannins with a dusty yet sweet finish. A greatly powerful wine which deserves attention for its ageing ability." - Decanter "A stylish red graced by pretty cherry, currant and wild strawberry fruit, with accents of mineral, aniseed and rose. Lively and taut, with well-wrought tannins on the lingering finish. Best from 2026 through 2045." - Wine Spectator "The Luigi Pira 2017 Barolo Marenca reveals a bright note of sweet cherry or redcurrant that pops first from the bouquet. That pretty red fruit intensity is quickly followed by spice, earth, toasted hazelnut and candied orange peel. This is a graceful and smooth expression from a site in Serralunga d'Alba that is almost exclusively farmed by the Pira family, mostly replanted in 1990 and is said to be noted for its powerful Barolo." - 93 punten, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate over de 2017-vintage "Aromas of violet, camphor and cooking spice form the nose. The full-bodied palate shows ripe blackberry, sage and licorice alongside taut, polished tannins. Drink 2024–2032." - 90 punten, Wine Enthusiast over de 2017-vintage |
