In the heart of Barolo, Roagna’s Barolo Pira 2017 stands out as a wine that blends power with refinement, showcasing the incredible potential of Nebbiolo from the Pira vineyard. Known for its elegant yet structured wines, Roagna captures the essence of the Langhe in every bottle, and the 2017 vintage is no exception.

The wine opens with intense aromas of dark fruit—blackberry, plum, and black cherry—interwoven with delicate floral notes of rose and violet. As it evolves, earthy undertones of tobacco, leather, and a hint of spice begin to emerge, adding layers of complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with firm, finely-grained tannins that provide both power and elegance. The acidity is well-integrated, lifting the fruit and balancing the wine’s richness. The finish is long, with lingering notes of dark fruit, earthy spice, and a mineral edge that speaks to the Pira vineyard’s unique terroir.

Perfect for pairing with roasted meats, wild game, or truffle-based dishes, Roagna’s Barolo Pira 2017 is already a pleasure to drink but will continue to evolve gracefully in the bottle. It’s a perfect representation of Barolo, combining elegance, structure, and the potential to age beautifully for years to come.

Luca Roagna and his family have been making some of the greatest wines in Piemonte for generations, and the quality just keeps rising. Anyone will be able to respect and admire the work of Luca Roagna: no step taken in the vineyard or the winery is without complete follow-through of thought.

Standing in the middle of one of their vineyards, you almost forget it's a place to grow grapes. Grass, insects and wildlife flourish throughout the vines, which are never subjected to chemical sprays, mowing or tilling. The biosphere is diverse and vigorous, the soils healthy: the result is impeccably grown grapes ready to become impeccably made wine.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2017 Barolo Pira is a powerful, intensely savory wine. Dark cherry, herbs, leather incense and licorice all add to an impression. The Pira Barolo is one of the most reticent wines in this entire collection. It is hard to read today, despite its obvious weight and character." -Vinous

Wine Spectator

WS 95
"Dense and muscular, with cherry, strawberry, rose, mineral and eucalyptus flavors in the grip of assertive tannins. Despite being lithe and light-bodied, this red finds equilibrium in the end, with the red fruit lingering on the finish."
