Five generations of Roagna winemaking since 1880, now led by Luca Roagna. Pira is a 4.88-hectare monopole in Castiglione Falletto acquired in 1989—home to the winery itself. "VV" (Vecchie Viti) indicates vines over 50 years old, all massal selection. Traditional vinification: 60-100 days skin contact, indigenous yeasts, 4-5 years in premium French oak casks double the standard thickness for slow micro-oxygenation. The 2020 vintage is classical and exceptional—svelte, inviting tannins, expressive perfume, juicy fruit with luminous acidity. Approachable now yet built for decades. Quintessential modern-traditional Barolo.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 97
"The 2020 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti shows how magical Nebbiolo and Barolo can be. At times quite powerful and at other moments much more reserved, the 2020 is a striking, wonderfully dynamic wine. Crushed flowers, spice, herbs, coffee and pine are some of the many notes that continue to open as the 2020 blossoms in the glass. Potent tannins drive the finish, suggesting that at least a few years in bottle will be beneficial." -Antonio Galloni

Wine Spectator

WS 97
"Deep and juicy from the start, this red wine evokes lush flavours of cherries, strawberries, eucalyptus, tar and minerals. The palate is ripe and rich, which carries through to the long, lingering aftertaste, showing a vibrant energy and presence. Outstanding balance and expressiveness."

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 96
"Showing more structure and depth of flavors than the estate’s already fantastic 2020 Barolo Pira, the Roagna 2020 Pira Vecchie Viti captivates with scents of fragrant blue flower, wild rose, dark spice and forest floor. Utterly delicious but also showing classy restraint, the palate delivers succulent Morello cherry, cake spice, licorice and orange zest accompanied by taut, fine-grained tannins. A hint of tobacco lingers on the close. Drink 2030–2038." -Kerin O'Keefe
