ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2018 Roagna Barolo "La Pira" is a remarkable expression of Barolo, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the historic La Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, one of Barolo’s most esteemed crus. The vines, some over 50 years old, are farmed organically, and the wine is made using traditional methods that reflect the Roagna family’s deep respect for the region’s heritage. The wine undergoes extended maceration and is aged for five years in large, neutral oak casks, allowing it to develop complexity and nuance while preserving the purity of the Nebbiolo fruit. This Barolo is built to age, with the potential to evolve beautifully over the next two decades. It pairs exceptionally well with rich, hearty dishes such as braised meats, truffles, and aged cheeses.
