The Pira vineyard holdings are in the three most prestigious crus of the Serralunga commune: Margheria, Marenca, and Rionda. For many years, the family only produced and sold their grapes, later producing and selling wine in bulk to local négociants. However, in the early 1990's Luigi's son, Giampaolo, took over the reins at the estate and the production of their own wines became a key factor. Today, Giampalo oversees the cellars and winemaking duties and is supported by his brothers, Romolo and Claudio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“One of Piedmont’s superstars… these are wines of extraordinary complexity and breathtaking richness.
