Roagna - La Pira - Barolo

Roagna is a family-owned winery located in the heart of the Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. The winery has a long history dating back to the early 19th century when it was founded by Giovanni Roagna. Today, the winery is run by his great-grandson Luca Roagna, who is committed to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

La Pira is one of Roagna's most prestigious wines, made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the La Pira vineyard. The vineyard is located in the commune of Castiglione Falletto and is known for its calcareous soil, which gives the wine its distinctive minerality. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using natural yeasts, with no added sulphites. The wine is then aged in large oak barrels for at least three years before being bottled.

The result is a complex and elegant wine with aromas of red fruit, spices, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, persistent finish. La Pira is a wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for many years to come, making it a truly special and unique experience.
