The Pira family has been growing grapes around the hills of Seralunga d'Alba for over 60 years. After selling fruit and wine to some of the most prominent wineries in the region for well over 50 years, Luigi's son Gianpaolo decided in the late 80s to set up a winery and start production of their own. The sheer quality of this estate is what blew us away, it is the complete package. Producing Barolo from 3 tiny parcels of Nebbiolo and bottling these as single vineyard wines, the Pira family has set their sights on making classic, terroir-driven wines.
