The 2009 Barolo Pira is another pretty wine. Next to the 2009 Pajè, its rough equivalent in the range of Barbarescos, the Pira is a bit fresher and brighter, with redder tonalities in its fruit and lively, piercing acidity that is going to need a few years to integrate. Pine, crushed flowers, mint, anise and crushed rocks are all layered into the finish. There is so much to like here. Score: 93+ Points Antonio Galloni

ProducerLuca Roagna

The Roagna story started in the late 1800s when Luca Roagna’s great grandfathers were part of a small group of pioneers that started making Barbaresco as we know it today. Luca, currently representing the 5th generation of winemakers, is taking the estate from strength to strength. He works with the utmost respect for his land: old vines, massale selection, and promotion of biodiversity are all at the core of his approach in the vineyards. In the winery, long aging, wild yeast, and long macerations assure that the essence of his terroir is expressed in the bottle.
