Pira is one of Barolo's most sought-after crus, and in Roagna's hands it becomes something transcendent. This fifth-generation estate—practicing organic/biodynamic viticulture since 2004—uses large Slavonian oak and extended maceration to produce profoundly traditional Nebbiolo. The Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto delivers wines of remarkable power and finesse: rose petal, tar, dried cherry, and an almost saline minerality. This 2020 will need patience—best from 2030 onward—but rewards with decades of evolution. Decant several hours if opening young.Biodynamic Alsace Pinot Blanc, wild yeast fermented. White peach, almond blossom, subtle honey. New-generation winemaking, food-friendly texture.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2020 Barolo Pira is a powerful, tightly wound young Barolo. Dried herbs, incense, licorice, tobacco and crushed autumn leaves add layers of nuance. This starts open with a bit of coaxing, suggesting a few years in bottle or a good bit air will do the trick. The tannins are insistent, but also polished." -Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator

WS 96
"This red wine is like a laser, but also juicy in the middle of the palate, with flavours of cherries, cranberries, rose hips, menthol and minerals. It is characterised by its harmony, complexity and length, with an aftertaste that just won't quit."

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 95
"Red berry, hay, lavender and dried botanical herb slowly appear on the beautiful 2020 Barolo Pira from Roagna along with a whiff of graphite. Showing extreme class and finesse, the palate features cranberry, tart red cherry, bitter orange, star anise and ground clove before closing on a salty mineral note. Lithe, glossy tannins provide polished support. Drink through 2032." -Kerin O'Keefe

Viticulture
The vines for this wine are between 25 and 50 years of age.
Vinification
Fermentation lasts ten days in large wood casks. They ferment with a pied de cuvee made from their indigenous yeasts. They then use the technique of submerged cap -- which can last 60-75 days.
Aging
The wine is then aged in large neutral French botti. The oak Luca uses is never toasted but instead made by using hot steam instead of flame. The wine is normally aged for five years in wood before release.
