The 2019 Barolo Pira is powerful and deep, but also very closed. There's so much energy here, but readers will have to be patient, as this classically austere young Barolo clearly needs time. Hints of pine, menthol, licorice and dried herbs appear with some reluctance. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. Superb.

Wine Advocate

Located next to Rocche di Castiglione, the Roagna family has the monopoly on the Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Luca Roagna's parents bought this plot in 1990,m and vine age varies from 35 to 60 years old. Different soils types are spread throughout the parcels. The 2019 Barolo Pira shows a beautiful mineral note with a metallic side that comes through with blazing intensity. It matches earthy sensations and pretty floral notes. This is a wine of exceptional depth and luminosity.

Wine Spectator

A distinctive white pepper aroma leads off, followed by flavors of strawberry, sour cherry, mint, menthol and iron. Despite the lightness and ethereal quality, the texture reveals viscosity and intensity. Balanced and complex, ending with terrific length. Best from 2027 through 2045. 886 cases made.

Notes

Roagna’s "Pira" Barolo 2019 is a profound and structured expression from the historic Pira cru in Castiglione Falletto, showcasing the estate’s signature purity and depth. The nose is intense and refined, with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal layered with notes of tar, anise, and crushed stone. On the palate, firm yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity frame a core of focused red fruit, savory herbs, and earthy minerality. The finish is long and powerful, unfolding with spice, floral lift, and iron-like tension. A precise, age-worthy Barolo built on energy and finesse.
