Roagna Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti 2020

Roagna Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti 2020 is a distinctive expression of Barolo drawn from old vines in the celebrated Pira vineyard, where depth, precision, and site character come together in a remarkably traditional style. As a wine from one of Piedmont’s most respected producers, it speaks to the long history of Nebbiolo in Barolo and the elegance that mature vines can deliver.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows the translucent garnet hue classic to Barolo, with bright clarity and subtle brick-tinged reflections as it opens. The nose is layered and restrained at first, then unfurls with red cherry, rose petal, dried strawberry, wild herbs, tobacco, licorice, and earthy notes of truffle and iron. On the palate, expect a wine with firm structure, finely etched tannins, vivid acidity, and a long, savory finish that balances power with finesse. While approachable with patience, this is a Barolo built for cellaring, and it should gain complexity over many years, developing greater nuance, silkier tannins, and deeper aromatic breadth.

Production
Sourced from old vines in the Pira vineyard, this wine reflects the character of a prized Barolo site known for producing structured, mineral, and ageworthy Nebbiolo. Roagna is known for a traditional, low-intervention approach that emphasizes vineyard expression, with careful harvesting and gentle vinification designed to preserve purity, texture, and the individuality of the cru.

Food & Serving
Pair with braised beef, veal shank, game, mushroom risotto, or rich truffle dishes that can stand up to the wine’s tannic frame and earthy complexity. Serve at around 16-18°C, and decant well in advance if drinking young to help the wine open and soften.

Producer
Roagna is a highly regarded family producer in Piedmont, admired for its traditional philosophy and its commitment to expressing the nuances of Barolo’s most revered sites. The estate has earned a strong reputation among collectors and enthusiasts for producing deeply characterful, long-lived wines with a clear sense of place.
