Roagna, Barolo La Pira 2017

Roagna is a respected producer in Piedmont, known for their high-quality Barolo and Barbaresco wines. This particular release is made from Nebbiolo sourced from the La Pira vineyard in the Castiglione Falletto area of Barolo. The 2017 vintage in Piedmont was characterized by a warm and dry growing season, leading to wines with ripe fruit profiles, good structure, and potentially higher alcohol levels. The wine showcases the typical Nebbiolo characteristics such as red fruit, rose petals, and tar, along with some spice and earthy notes from the Castiglione Falletto terroir. Expect this Barolo to have firm tannins and bright acidity, making it suitable for further aging.
