Barolo Pira Secondo & Figli 1970

This 1970 Denominazione di Origine Controllata red wine is produced by Pira Secondo & Figli. The estate crafted this wine from their own production, aging it in their cellar located in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba. Following traditional methods, the wine was aged using an ancient, natural system in old oak barrels. It was bottled without undergoing any stabilization treatments, allowing it to develop a natural deposit over time as a mark of its authenticity.The wine originates from Barolo, one of the most prestigious wine areas situated in the Langhe hills southwest of Alba. This area is celebrated for producing some of Italy's great classic red wines. The 1970 vintage here is described as mature and classic, earning a score of 85 points. Barolo is located within the broader Piemonte region in northwestern Italy, an area framed by the Alps and globally recognized for its small, family-run wineries and profound dedication to terroir. The dramatic, steep hills of the Langhe are frequently blanketed in thick morning fog during the autumn, a unique climatic feature that protects the vineyards.This classic Barolo is made exclusively from Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape renowned for yielding elegant wines with significant structural depth. Nebbiolo is deeply tied to the region and serves as the defining grape for the renowned wines of Barolo, Barbaresco, and the surrounding Piemonte landscape.
