”The vineyards in Gabutti in Serralunga d’Alba are unanimously regarded as one of the most prestigious ‘crus’ of the Barolo-producing area. They are located at the centre of a land with an extraordinary vocation for growing nebbiolo, a vine which produces wines with remarkable character and structure perfect for ageing. This is the birthplace of Barolo OtinFiorin Piè Rupestris: it is 100% Serralunga in its character ‒ a paradigmatic wine thanks to its severe and authoritative tone, with an austere but also generous and sharing manner ‒ as well as in the organoleptic characteristics: liquorice, juniper, tar, balsamic notes, spices and undergrowth are just the most recognisable and typical expressions of an aromatic patrimony which sketches, year after year, a veritable narration of the land. This is made authentic and trustworthy by our unequivocally natural choices and by an attitude alien to mediation. A narration which changes and evolves in time, under the sign of longevity and tradition.”

Ullage, Ullage - yes another bad bottle of this great wine..

2005 Luigi Pira Barolo Vigna Rionda. Still rather dark colour, but with a slight orange/ brick edge. Truffles, roses, black fruit and tar with a hint of minerals. Oak a bit to prominent, but nice!

2004 Luigi Pira Barolo Marenca - Great Juice that drinks well today, with potential to age for another 3-5 years IMO..

2001 Massolino Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda - 🍷🍷🍷 - Stunning bottle, at mid of drinking window? (Pic from my cellar..)
