Description
Roagna's Barolo Pira from Piedmont is a Nebbiolo that shows the lighter, more elegant side of the vintage. The wine wears a pale ruby color and carries itself with real finesse on the palate, built on fine tannins and bright acidity that feels almost weightless.
The nose leans toward preserved fruit, floral aromatics, and dried herbs, preserved strawberries, lavender, tobacco leaf, cedar, mint, and chamomile, all held together with a taut, linear structure that rewards attention. There's an ethereal quality here, a sense of precision and drive rather than power. The wine is very much ready to enjoy now, but it will develop further complexity over time.
Expert Reviews
The 2018 Barolo Pira boasts a pale ruby and offers notes of preserved strawberries, sweet herbs, flowers, and lavender. It has lovely purity on the palate, revealing fine tannins and balanced, fresh acidity with a weightless feel. I quite prefer this wine to both of the Paje wines. It’s fantastic to enjoy now, but it’s going to benefit from time. Drink 2025-2045. (Jeb Dunnuck, May 2024)
The 2018 Barolo Pira is bright, focused and linear. A bit light and nervy, as wines are in this vintage, but also expressive. Tobacco, cedar, mint, dried flowers and chamomile all grace this taut, nervy Barolo Pira. This is an especially ethereal Barolo. Very pretty, and it has plenty of drive. (Vinous, October 2023)
