"Intense ruby red color. The nose is young, complex, well balanced between spicy notes of oak and wild berries. The taste is mouth-filling, balanced and very persistent. It's a full-bodied wine." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The Luigi Pira 2019 Barbera d'Alba Superiore is a compact and fruity red with plenty of bold cherry, blackberry and cassis to keep your interest. The wine is smooth and textured, with a good amount of soft weight to wrap nicely over the palate. This wine has the take-charge personality to pair with a Piemontese plate of coniglio ai pepperoni, or a roasted rabbit with mixed peppers." —Wine Advocate |
