Energy runs straight through this Roagna Barolo La Pira 2020, wrapping vivid cherry and cranberry fruit in a frame of floral lift, cool minerals and deep, savory notes of dried herbs and tobacco. The structure is firm and refined, with velvety but insistent tannins and a finish that trails on in persistent, mouthwatering detail. It’s a serious, tightly coiled wine now, clearly built for long aging and remarkable complexity down the line.

Roagna’s Barolo La Pira (now labeled simply “Pira”) comes from a historic, limestone-rich cru in Castiglione Falletto, giving Nebbiolo a compelling mix of depth, minerality, and scented red fruit. Farmed traditionally from old massal-selection vines and raised with very long macerations and extended aging in neutral oak, it is a powerful yet finely etched Barolo, marked by rose, cherry, spice, and iron notes and built for long-term cellaring.
