Note di degustazione
The 2017 Barolo Margheria is a beguiling Serralunga Barolo redolent of dried herbs, tobacco, menthol, graphite, licorice, crushed rock and blood orange. Tightly wound and not fully expressive, the 2017 needs a few years in bottle to soften. The 2017 is nicely done.

Serralunga d'Alba. Lustrous ruby with bricky rim. Brooding and deep on the nose. Delicious supple fruit and bags of coating tannins in equal measure. Long and supple. (WS)
The 2017 Barolo Margheria is savory with licorice, fresh leather, and cedar. The palate is balanced with gushing fresh cherry, dried apricot, and forested earth, with rich tannic structure and warming spice. Hold 2-4 years and drink 2024-2044.
The Pira family farms several of the most important single-vineyard sites in Serralunga d'Alba, and this one has 50-year-old vines. The Luigi Pira 2017 Barolo Margheria offers a hint of the vintage ripeness with some wild strawberry and dried raspberry. In fact, those sweet fruit flavors emerge here in the Margheria more than they do in the other crus sites from this estate that are now on the market. That extra degree of softness gives this wine a more immediate and accessible personality.
