AT ROAGNA, TO ACHIEVE THE FINEST EXPRESSION OF A TERROIR, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO WORK WITH OLD VINES.

The uniqueness and beauty of a vineyard is most evident with vines that have very deep root systems.

The soils in the Langhe are of marine sedimentary origin, with layers of calcareous clay alternating with grey-bluish marl and sand. The authenticity of each individual expression stems from minimal differences in the subsoil. A plant more than fifty years old, with roots embedded in multiple sedimentary stratifications that differ from one geographical mention to another, can draw unique nutrients and microelements, interpreting the identity of the land parcel in question in the best way possible.

Our vines are neither fertilised nor irrigated. The soil is completely grassed over, encouraging the root systems to penetrate deeper.

Roagna Description

Sourced from the Pira cru in Castiglione Falletto. It is a monopole vineyard and is the largest parcel owned by the Roagna family at 4.88 hectares.
SOIL - There are 6 unique micro parcels depending on the composition of the terrain which ranges from limestone marl Roca to blue stone.
AGE OF VINES - The vines for this wine are between 25 and 50 years of age.

TASTING NOTES -

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.
