Luigi Pira Vigna Rionda, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2019 lamb some sandy tanninsLifted and floral, the 2019 Barolo Vignarionda takes on notes of wild strawberry, cinnamon, roses, and resin. More refined in its tannins and elegant, it is both powerful and gentle, with raspberry liqueur, bergamot, and dusty earth. It balances the strength of Serralunga with great finesse and is an absolutely beautiful wine from Luigi Pira. 96 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
