The 2013 Barolo Vintage: 2013 Barolos have "finesse and elegance…striking aromas, silky tannins, vibrant fruit, and mid-weight structure…they capture the essence of site." In other words, the 2013 Barolos properly reflect their particular vineyard sites from which they grow; for example, a Serralunga Barolo tastes like a Serralunga Barolo. For Galloni, 2013 is "a great vintage."
Jancis Robinson, the first Master of Wine outside of the wine trade, states that, "The 2013 Barolo has turned out to be a classic in the making. Loaded with firm but tactile and wonderfully textured tannins and at times super fresh due to the high acidity, the wines have an elegance that defies their estimated 14.5% alcohol."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous: "The 2013 Barolo Pira is dark and powerful to its core. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2013 is all nerves and muscle. Iron, blood, smoke, cedar, smoke and licorice give the 2013 much of its super-distinctive flavor profile. In the glass, the 2013 is wonderfully deep and exotic, with layers of dimension that open up effortlessly over time. Readers will have to be patient with the 2013, but it is hugely promising. Sadly, prices for the Roagna wines have gone up dramatically in recent years. If there is one wine that readers should absolutely not miss, it is the 2013 Barolo Pira. Drinking window: 2023 - 2028."
