Barolo Pira 2020 Roagna

Barolo Pira DOCG 2020 from Roagna is a red wine from the historic Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, exposed south-east on the Serralunga and Perno slopes. The vines are 25 to 50 years old and are exclusively massal selections. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by submerged-cap maceration for two to two and a half months, then ageing in neutral oak barrels for about five years. Production is limited to fewer than 15,000 bottles per vintage. It shows a ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The nose brings violet, red fruit, ethereal, spicy and toasted notes. On the palate it has structure and power, with evolved tannins and good acidity giving balance, and a long, very persistent finish.
