but it's not necessarily better
balanced acidity and elegant tannins are rolled into one beautiful wine
this is a wine of power and refinement
more volume and it's quite open and expressive
it should ideally not be opened in the next 10 years
Roagna, Barolo Pira Vv Vintage:2015 but it's not necessarily betterThe 2011 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti is deep, powerful and inviting, even with all of its forbidding tannin. In this vintage, the two Barolos are quite different. The straight Pira is quite delicate, while the Vecchie Viti is all muscle, brawn and old style classicism. Dark stone fruit, graphite, smoke, licorice, sage, menthol and dark spices shape the huge finish. This is an unusual 2011 that needs cellaring. Antonio Galloni
