Why We're Buying
Roagna may be the master of Barbaresco, but the estate is far from a one-trick pony. La Pira is an extensively aged Barolo that ranks among the most expensive red wines from the appellation. The wine is not made in large quantities, meaning that the scarcity will continue to drive up the price.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Pira cru is a Roagna family monopoly. They purchased this site (in Castiglione Falletto) in 1990 and the vines range from 40 to 50 years old. The 2014 Barolo Pira opens to dark and impeccably focused fruit. This wine offers an incredible level of sharpness and detail that adds a vivid Technicolor character to the bouquet. The aromas are lifted bright and vertical fueled by the power and elegance that comes so naturally to Nebbiolo. There is zest and energy here with plenty of acidity and tannic structure to liven up the finish. Exactly 12984 bottles were produced making this the easiest Roagna wine to locate at your local retailer.
