Lifted and floral, the 2019 Barolo Vignarionda takes on notes of wild strawberry, cinnamon, roses, and resin. More refined in its tannins and elegant, it is both powerful and gentle, with raspberry liqueur, bergamot, and dusty earth. It balances the strength of Serralunga with great finesse and is an absolutely beautiful wine from Luigi Pira. Drink 2025-2045.

A delineated red, with cherry, strawberry, hibiscus and menthol flavors defined by vibrant acidity. Elegant, yet with a straight spine of tannins and subtle length on the finish, which echoes the red fruit and hibiscus and picks up a mineral element. Best from 2026 through 2045. 200 cases made, 60 cases imported.

The 2019 Barolo Vignarionda is quite sensual in its aromatic profile, but also less giving on the palate. It will be interesting to see if this softens with time in bottle. Giampaolo Pira has made notable strides with his wines. The Vignarionda remains the last nut to crack.
