The Roagna Barolo Pira 2020 is a prestigious wine from the iconic Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Acquired by the Roagna family in 1989, the vineyard has been managed with a focus on biodiversity and respectful viticulture. This Barolo faithfully expresses the character of the vineyard, without wood overshadowing its identity. The 2020 vintage is characterized by being more approachable in its youth compared to other classic harvests, yet retains the depth and aging potential typical of Roagna. With long macerations and five years aging in large botti, it offers a firm structure and incredible complexity, allowing for bottle evolution over 20 to 30 years. On the nose, the wine unveils a rich palette of aromas, including red cherry, sour cherry, blood orange, pomegranate, rose petals, violet, licorice, tobacco, forest floor, and graphite, complemented by balsamic and spicy notes. On the palate, it is deep and austere, perfectly balanced with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long finish marked by red fruit and chalky minerality. This Barolo is an ideal companion for white truffle dishes, stews, game, mushroom risotto, osso buco, and aged cheeses.
