The 2013 Marenca is another fantastic Barolo from Pira in this vintage. Gorgeous aromas of fresh strawberries, dark cherries and red plum are woven together with spices, floral, eucalyptus and crushed stones, which all burst from the glass. On the palate this is well structured with excellent depth and a dark core leading up to the long lingering finish. While appealing now, it will be best to allow this a few more years of bottle age to soften. (Best 2020-2030) - May 2017 (JD)
