2017 Roagna Pira Barolo DOCG 750ml

Origin and Winemaking The 2017 Roagna Pira Barolo DOCG is a traditional expression of Nebbiolo from the historic Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, Piedmont. Crafted by Luca Roagna using old-school methods, it reflects the unique terroir of the region. Vines are 25 to 50 years old, and fermentation uses indigenous yeast with a submerged cap maceration of 60–75 days. The wine is aged in large neutral oak barrels for about five years. Tasting Notes Appearance: Bright ruby red with garnet hues. Nose: Aromas of rose petals, cherry, red currant, licorice, sandalwood, and graphite. Palate: Cherry, sweet red fruits, spice, orange peel, and menthol with silky ripe tannins and vivid acidity. Finish: Long and savory with excellent balance and finesse. Accolades Wine Spectator: 97 points, praised for detail, harmony, and length. CellarTracker: Average of 94 points from users. Cellaring Potential Although enjoyable now, it is best consumed from 2026 to 2047 to allow full maturation and complexity. Food Pairing Pairs beautifully with braised lamb, venison, mushroom risotto, aged cheeses, or rich pasta dishes.
