Awards | "Cherry, plum, eucalyptus and tobacco flavors are wrapped in oak spice and fused to a layer of firm tannins in this red. Lean and vibrant, with a strong grip on the finish. Best from 2028 through 2045." - Wine Spectator "Graceful aromas of cinnamon, strawberries, vibrant dried red cherries and blood oranges. Full-bodied, it doesn’t come across as over-extracted but shows firm, velvety tannins that are muscular and refined, with crisp acidity and a super-polished and elegant finish. A wine with a long life ahead, yet drinkable now." - James Suckling "Showing linearity and focus, the Luigi Pira 2016 Barolo Vignarionda is slightly closed upon first inspection. If you go back to the wine hours after you have opened the bottle, you will find that it has beautifully transformed and evolved. That tiny point of initial reduction serves the wine well and reminds you that this classic vintage is one with exceptional aging potential. A 4,000-bottle release, this wine offers energy and resonance. It is partially aged in French barrique and partially in botte grande." - 95+ punten, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate over de 2016-vintage "Serralunga d’Alba. Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Balsamic cherry nose growing in depth with aeration. Subtly complex, but with quite a bit of concentration. Polished, juicy fruit with finely ground tannins building up on the finish, adding grip to the lush cherry fruit. Very long and compelling and finely balanced. (WS)" - 17++/20, Jancis Robinson over de 2019-vintage "The 2016 Barolo Vignarionda is an alluring beauty. Macerated cherry, rose petal, mint, blood orange and pomegranate all run through this exotic, arrestingly beautiful Barolo. The 2016 is dense, wonderfully perfumed and just striking Finesse and power come together beautifully, showing all the pedigree of this site." - 95 punten, Vinous over de 2016-vintage "Aged for 12 months in barrique plus a further 12 months in larger botte, this Vignarionda is pretty classic. The concentration of fruit is great: generous yet elegant cherry and strawberry fruit are accompanied by a straw note, while the liquorice finish shows youthful grainy tannins, refined and sweet, along with refreshing acidity. It's a little early to tell for sure, but it should age quite well." - 94 punten, Decanter over de 2019-vintage |
