Tasting notes
The 2015 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti shows a light garnet color and a detailed bouquet with multiple layers of red fruit, spice, licorice, spent ember and soft cedarwood. The wine is taut and finely textured with fresh acidity and finely polished tannins. Generally speaking, wines from the 2015 vintage tend to be aging at different speeds, but this old-vine selection is taking its time and is poised to walk the distance in carefully measured paces.

The 2015 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti needs a bit of time in the glass for an initial whiff of reduction to blow off. As it often is, the Pira Vecchie Viti is an exotic wine built on an intriguing mix of aromatic presence and understated structure. In 2015, the two Pira Barolos are not as different as they usually are. While the Vecchie Viti has terrific persistence, it also is a bit fleeting for this wine.
