Why We're Buying
Vineyards don’t get much better than Pira. The largest single parcel in the estate’s holdings, the 25-to-50-year-old vines sprawl across six distinct microclimates with terrain ranging from limestone marl roca to bluestone. The unique exposures and soils give Roagna a wealth of options when vinifying Pira. The 2016 incarnation brings the vineyard to life with chalky tannins and sterling minerality. These earthy components seamlessly integrate into layers of red cherries, wildflowers, tobacco, spice, blood orange, and smoke, giving 2016 Pira effortless charm and depth. Add in sparkling acidity and energy, and it’s easy to see why this Barolo is a no-brainer cellar selection. The Final Sip: Wine critic Kerin O’Keefe called this ageworthy Barolo a “drop-dead gorgeous red,” and frankly, it’s hard to argue.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2016 Barolo Pira is a gorgeous complex wine endowed with terrific depth and tons of nuance that continues to open over time. Light on its feet and yet wonderfully deep the 2016 has so much going on. Kirsch sweet red cherry spice orange zest menthol and spice fill out the layers effortlessly. Young Barolo tannins are present but there is plenty of richness in the fruit to keep things in balance. The Pira is absolutely stellar in this tasting.
