Roagna, Barolo 'Pira' 2019

Name: Parcelle Picks
Brand: Parcelle Picks
SKU: PARCELLE-PICK
Price: 175 USD
Availability: OutOfStock

Roagna is one of Piedmont’s all-time greats. They make old-school nebbiolo - forceful and mineral, but never lacking grace. Over the last decade or so, Luca Roagna’s wines have become prettier and more approachable, without sacrificing the complexity and structure that his family’s Barolo and Barbaresco are known for. This Barolo from the near-perfect 2019 vintage is a modern high-water mark for Roagna. It absolutely belongs in a lineup alongside recent classics from Bartolo Mascarello, Rinaldi, and Conterno.

Here's what you should know about it:

Roagna has been making wine since the late 1800s, but it was only in 1989 that the family expanded beyond Barbaresco, and acquired prime parcels in Barolo.
The Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto is owned entirely by Roagna.
The 2019 vintage is a modern classic in Barolo, rightly being compared to ‘10 and ‘16.
