Roagna represents five generations of uncompromising winemaking tradition in Barolo, and this mature wine from the Pira parcel in Castiglione Falletto shows the character of the warm 2003 vintage. The striking ripeness is balanced by sweet spice notes of clove and cinnamon, while the palate offers an approachable, evolved expression of Nebbiolo. The vineyard's position between mountain and forest created something special here. Traditional Barolo showing its age gracefully.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2003 Barolo La Rocca e La Pira, from vines between 20 and 50 years of age, is an expressive wine graced with dark cherries, plums, spices, cedar, menthol and minerals in a surprisingly accessible style for this producer. Medium in body, the wine offers superb length and finessed tannins that caress the palate through to the close. This is a little rounder, deeper and also plusher than the decidedly firm and austere Pajé, and it is nearly as sublime. Here, too, Roagna passed on making a Riserva, blending the juice from their best lots into this entry-level Barolo." -Antonio Galloni
