2020 Roagna "Pira VV" Vecchie Viti Barolo

Vinous
Review Date: 01/2026The 2020 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti shows how magical Nebbiolo and Barolo can be. At times quite powerful and at other moments much more reserved, the 2020 is a striking, wonderfully dynamic wine. Crushed flowers, spice, herbs, coffee and pine are some of the many notes that continue to open as the 2020 blossoms in the glass. Potent tannins drive the finish, suggesting that at least a few years in bottle will be beneficial. (AG) 97+

Notes
Roagna’s Pira Vecchie Viti Barolo is a profound and age-worthy expression of Nebbiolo, sourced from old vines in the historic Pira cru of Castiglione Falletto. The nose is intensely aromatic and complex, revealing layers of red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose, intertwined with notes of orange peel, licorice, and iron-rich earth. The palate is structured yet refined, offering vibrant red fruit, firm yet polished tannins, and a deep mineral core, all carried by racy acidity. A long, commanding finish lingers with nuances of balsamic, cedar, and savory spice.
