E. Pira E Figli Barolo Via Nuova DOCG
Via Nuova (New Road) was the name of a small vineyard on the edge of the historical center of Barolo, the name coming from its proximity to the road (new at that time!) connecting Barolo to Novello. All that remains today of the road is a small walking path through the vineyards. The wine was produced as a single-vineyard Barolo for many years until, in 2010, this small Cru was incorporated into the larger Terlo subzone. And so, as a sort of homage to tradition, Barolo Via Nuova is now produced as a blend of 6 different vineyards: Terlo and Liste in Barolo, Ravera e Mosconi in Monforte d’Alba and Gabutti and Baudana in Serralunga d’Alba. This classic Barolo blend combines structure with elegance and complexity, emphasizing the particularities of each vineyard site. Though a bit timid when first opened, some time in the glass (or decanter) will reveal Via Nuova’s alluring ethereal floral and fruit perfumes.

E. Pira & Figli Barolo Via Nuova DOCG 2022

James Suckling (95)- "Outstanding for its pure savoriness on the nose, showing earthy strawberries, peonies, violet candies and restrained blood oranges. Intense. Relaxed on the attack but with firm, dusty tannins and crisp, slightly lifted acidity. The finish is tight and austere yet juicy and balanced. This deserves time for better integration."
