The 2018 Roagna Barolo Pira is a masterful expression of Nebbiolo from the historic Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Crafted by Luca Roagna, this wine reflects the estate's commitment to traditional winemaking and the unique terroir of the region.

In the glass, it presents a pale ruby hue. The nose is greeted with ethereal aromas of preserved strawberries, sweet herbs, flowers, and lavender. On the palate, it offers a weightless feel with fine tannins and balanced, fresh acidity, culminating in a harmonious and lengthy finish. 

Critically acclaimed, the 2018 vintage received a 97-point rating from Wine Spectator, highlighting its precise flavors of rose petal, cherry, currant, licorice, sandalwood, and graphite, all focused by vivid acidity. Vinous awarded it 94+ points, describing it as "bright, focused, and linear," with notes of tobacco, cedar, mint, dried flowers, and chamomile, emphasizing its expressive and ethereal character. 

With an alcohol content of 14%, this Barolo is both approachable in its youth and capable of graceful aging, promising to evolve beautifully over the next two decades. It pairs excellently with dishes such as lamb, game, and aged cheeses, making it a worthy addition to any cellar.
