Luigi Pira Barolo Serralunga DOCG 2020

93WS / 92D / 91VM$47.99 on 6+ (code: 6saves2)$49.99 regThe wine-making process of Barolo Serralunga takes place in horizontal fermentation tanks with temperature control for 12-15 days. The wine ages in large 25-hl wooden barrels for 24 months. Vines were planted in 1959 and 1995. The typical structure and tannicity of Serralunga meets the readiness and elegance of refinement in large barrels.93 pts Wine SpectatorThis red is stitched with strawberry, cherry, currant and eucalyptus flavors. Firm, with a fine line of dense tannins informing the finish. Balanced and long overall, with flashes of tobacco and mineral sapidity on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2047.92 pts DecanterDespite a stern finish due to chalky, slightly dry tannins, this Barolo from Serralunga is delicious and with a very good quality price ratio. Classic sweet violets and fresh strawberries on the nose are allied to a full body and crisp acidity, with an austere finish now that may soften a bit with bottle ageing.
