Antonio Galloni, October 2021, Score: 97
The 2016 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti emerges from the oldest vines on the property, those planted in 1937. As always, the Vecchie Viti is all about haunting, ethereal aromatics more than it is about power. Sweet rose petal, mint, dried flowers, sweet red cherry fruit and cedar lend captivating aromatic presence to this beguiling, high-toned Barolo. This is such a gorgeous wine. Drink 2026-2041.
Region
Barolo
With Brunello in Tuscany, Barolo is undoubtedly Italy's finest wine producing region. Located in Piedmont in the north west of Iataly Barolo is comprised of 5 major communes - Barolo, Monteforte d'Alba, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba - though the latter three tend to represent the main styles of the region. The wines are compelling and polished - an exemplary expression of the Nebbiolo grape. DOCG law requires a minimum ageing of 2 years in cask or barrel yet can be longer depending on the producer. Barolos are generally released four or more years after the vintage.
