PRACTICING ORGANIC FARMING
"The fine estate of Roagna has long roots in the commune of Barbaresco, having been started very early in the twentieth century by Vincenzo Roagna... Today the property is run by Luca Roagna, the fifth generation of the family... The style of the estate’s wines has been carefully passed down through all five generations of Roagna family, with the wines made in a very traditional and classic style. These are deep, complex and structured wines that are built to age and handsomely reward cellaring... fermentation still includes a full sixty day maceration before aging in large, Slavonian oak botti for anywhere from three to five years (depending on the quality of the vintage) prior to bottling. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, and often the estate will also hold back the wines for several years of further bottle aging prior to release." - BEAUNE IMPORTS
VINOUS 96 POINTS - "The 2017 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti dazzles from the very first taste. It offers a wild, intoxicating bouquet married to notable depth, with firm yet polished tannins that wrap it all together. Sweet red fruit, blood orange, rose petal, cinnamon, dried herbs and star anise build as this rich yet classically austere Barolo shows off what it’s got. It is a super-classic Roagna wine."
KERIN O'KEEFE 96 POINTS - "The 2017 Roagna Pira Vecchie Viti is gorgeous, with aromas of rose petal, new leather, hay and botanical herb. Linear, tight and youthfully austere, it features juicy cranberry, ripe Morello cherry, licorice, cake spice and blood orange flavors while tightly wound, fine-grained tannins provide seamless support. Drink 2029–2037. Abv: 14% Kerin O’Keefe August 2023 ©kerinokeefe.com'
