The 2016s are some of the best Barolos I have tasted from Giampaolo Pira. These days, Pira's Barolos are more finessed than in the past, with less extraction and more harmonious oak. Pira insists he has changed little, but the move to pick a bit earlier in the past and small refinements that come with experience are clearly visible. The straight Barolo and Margheria are aged in cask, while the Marenca and Vignarionda see 12 months in barrel (500L and 225L respectively) followed by a year in cask. The 2016s are superb across the board.
