Luigi Pira Barolo Marenca 2017 | Magnum (150cl)

Luigi Pira's Barolo Marenca DOCG is sourced from 2 hectares of Nebbiolo located in Serralunga d'Alba with a western exposure in a calcareous-clayish soil. The vines were re-planted in 1990 and produce grapes that give a powerful Barolo with typical features. Matured for over 24 months, partly in small wooden barrels and partly in large wooden barrels, the Marenca Cru Barolo is an intense garnet red in colour displaying fresh aromas, with complex perfumes that range from wild berries to vanilla, chocolate and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is very vigorous, rich in extracts, with lively and pleasant tannins that are rounded through a skilful use of wood. A powerful and tantalising red wine with a great ageing potential.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
