This drop-dead gorgeous red dazzles with an enticing fragrance of perfumed berry, fragrant blue flower, dark spice, and camphor. Elegantly structured and focused, the taut, savory palate boasts remarkable finesse, vibrancy, and a great depth of flavors, including juicy red cherry, pomegranate, star anise, and baking spice. It has incredible energy and balance thanks to taut, refined tannins, and bright acidity.
95 Points - Vinous
The 2016 Barolo Pira is a gorgeous, complex wine endowed with terrific depth and tons of nuance that continues to open over time. Light on its feet yet wonderfully deep, the 2016 has so much going on. Kirsch, sweet red cherry, spice, orange zest, menthol, and spice fill out the layers effortlessly. Young Barolo tannins are present, but the fruit has plenty of richness to keep things in balance. The Pira is absolutely stellar in this tasting.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
Fresh and beguiling, delivering cherry, currant, floral, mineral, tobacco, and wild herb aromas and flavors, this red is lacy and firm, as much from the vibrant acidity as the refined, chalky tannins. Ends with a fine, complex aftertaste.
