Pira Dolcetto d'Alba 2025

Pira Dolcetto d'Alba is a classic expression of Piedmont’s everyday elegance: vibrant, fruit-driven, and beautifully balanced. Produced by Pira Luigi in the historic hills of Serralunga d’Alba, it reflects a winemaking tradition that has shaped the region since the late 1800s.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a ruby-red color with violet highlights, giving it a youthful and inviting appearance. The nose opens with juicy fruit notes of red berries, wild berries, and cherry, all framed by a fresh, lively character. On the palate, this Dolcetto is harmonious and smooth, with a well-judged balance of acidity, tannin, and alcohol. It finishes with a satisfying, lingering aftertaste and is best enjoyed while its bright fruit and freshness are at their peak, though it will hold well over the near term.

Production
The grapes are grown on the hillsides of Serralunga d’Alba in Piedmont, an area long associated with quality and tradition. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for around 8–10 days, helping preserve the grape’s natural fruit expression and freshness, followed by 8 months of aging in stainless steel to maintain its clean, precise style.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red that works especially well with antipasti, cured meats, pasta dishes, roasted chicken, mushroom dishes, and mild cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 16–18°C, and decanting is generally not necessary unless you want to let it open up briefly before serving.

Producer
Pira Luigi is a respected family producer in Serralunga d’Alba, an area at the heart of Barolo country. With roots in the local viticultural tradition dating back to the late 19th century, the estate is known for crafting wines that combine authenticity, precision, and a strong sense of place.
