Description
What kind of wine is it
Roagna Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti is a still red wine that expresses the purity of Nebbiolo within the context of Barolo. Produced from historic vines, this wine boasts a deep and defined character. In the glass, it displays a ruby red colour, introducing an intense bouquet where the typical violet notes and pronounced spicy nuances stand out. On the palate, it is balanced, supported by a great structure and a prolonged persistence.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in Piedmont from the Pira geographical mention, a vineyard exclusively owned by Roagna. The plots benefit from an elevated position that provides an ideal environment for the growth of the grape variety. The plants come from massal selection, thus preserving the original genetic heritage. Thanks to a deep root system, the vines explore the different layers of the soil, absorbing essential nutrients. This deep connection with the land results in a complex and territorial expression, characterised by remarkable concentration.
How is it produced
The winery carries out a limited production thanks to a rigorous selection of the bunches. The production process involves a long five-year ageing, carried out in cement vats and wooden barrels. This period of rest shapes the raw material, giving the wine perfect balance and a solid gustatory structure. The care dedicated to each stage makes this label ideal for a comparative tasting aimed at exploring the different terroirs of Roagna.
