Luigi Pira has been growing grapes and making wine in Serralunga since the 1950s, the Barolo village most notable for its intense perfume and structure. With several crus in the village, the Piras have fantastic parcels in the Marenca and Margheria vineyards (totalling 1 hectare), as well as the legendary cru Vignarionda - widely considered the best site in Serralunga and one that defines the soul of Barolo.

The vinification of Barbera d'Alba Superiore takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about 15-18 days. Aging is traditional, in 25 hl Slavonian oak casks for 12 months.
