Giampaolo Pira's 2001s were quite showy when they were first released. The wines haven't aged as well as I had expected and today it is pretty clear they need to be drunk up. Ultimately these wines never integrated their French oak.

Giampaolo Pira may be quiet and softspoken, but his wines speak volumes. Pira produces some of the most exciting, modern-styled wines in the region from first-class vineyards in Serralunga. These opulent wines are made from low yields, super-ripe fruit and boast great intensity, yet also achieve a level of balance and harmony that is rare among the region's big wines. There are four Barolos, a normale, plus selections from the Margheria, Marenca, and Vigna Rionda crus, among the very best positions in Serralunga. Fermentations are on the short side, lasting 7-10 days, and the wines are aged in an assortment of small and large barrels. I consider Marenca and Vigna Rionda to be this producer's top wines. Consumers who prefer a powerful style will gravitate to the former, those who enjoy a more subtle wine will probably prefer the latter. In keeping with his no-nonsense personality, Pira is not a big fan of decanting, he aims to make wines that can be opened and enjoyed upon release.
