Histoire du domaine
The Pira family has been established on the hills of Serralunga d’Alba since the late 19th century, when Gianpaolo's great-grandfather began acquiring land there. In the 1950s, Luigi Pira and his wife Rosa gave the farm a resolutely viticultural focus and began vinifying their own grapes. For a long time, the family mainly sold its grapes and then bulk wine to local négociants. The turning point came in the early 1990s with the arrival of the sons Gianpaolo, Romolo, and Claudio: the estate then developed estate-bottling under its own label and focused its work on quality. Today, Gianpaolo runs the business and the winemaking, while family continuity also involves his brothers, his wife Tiziana, and their daughters Annalisa and Elena. The estate farms approximately 13 hectares, notably in the crus Margheria, Marenca, and Vignarionda, and produces roughly 65,000 bottles per year.
