The Roagna family, long established as one of the leading traditionalist producers of Barbaresco, began making Barolo when they took over Cascina Pira in Castiglione Falletto in 1989. The Pira vineyard has been a monopole of the family ever since, and their Barolo Pira is a single-vineyard expression of this site in the heart of the Barolo zone.
The vineyard is farmed without chemicals, and the winemaking follows the patient, hands-off approach for which Roagna is renowned. Fermentation is started with a pied de cuve of indigenous yeasts in wooden vats, and the wine then undergoes very long macerations of around two months under a submerged cap. Ageing takes place in large, neutral oak casks for roughly four to five years, and the wine is bottled without clarification or filtration.
Barolo Pira is a deep, powerful yet refined Nebbiolo, typically offering dark cherry, plum, rose and violet with layers of liquorice, earth and spice. Its firm, fine-grained tannins and lively acidity make it a Barolo built for the long haul, one that will continue to develop beautifully with extended time in the cellar.
