BAROLO PIRA VECCHIE VITI ROAGNA 2013

ROAGNA

Quite simply, our family has always worked in the vineyards.

Today Alfredo and Luca Roagna, father and son, work everyday to care for each vine. Each vine is treated as an individual who year after year evolves to express the unique characteristics of our terroir.

We work tirelessly taking care of every single stage of the process from the vineyard to the bottle.

In the cellar after all the work we have done with selection and crushing, we also personally bottle and label the wine and prepare each box for shipping to our clients around the world. Each and every bottle of wine is handled at least six times before leaving our winery by Alfredo or Luca.
We do not have have any other winemakers or agricultural specialists who work with us as we try only to interpret each vineyard with our generations of family experience.

BAROLO PIRA VECCHIE VITI

Pira is a historic vineyard located in the village of Castiglione Falletto and originally owned by the noble family who had a private road that connected the vineyard and the castle hundreds of years ago.

Our vineyard sits on the side of Serralunga d’Alba and Perno and is Southeast facing. Pira contains specific characteristics due to the slow disintegration of the rocks of Castiglione. Our family purchased this vineyard in 1989.

The harvest takes place in October by hand usually in the morning once the fruit has reached perfect ripeness. Before being made into wine we manually select each berry in order to have perfect fruit.

Fermentation takes place exclusively in large wood casks thanks to a pied de cuve created from our indigenous yeasts. This lasts for ten days and then we use the ancient technique of maceration by splinting the submerged cap process which lasts for at least two and a half months, (70-90 days). The wine is then aged in a neutral oak barrel for approximately 5 years.

The production of bottles is extremely limited, often only about two thousand bottles per vintage.

  • Characteristics: ruby ​​red color with garnet reflections.
  • The nose reveals aromas of violet, red fruits, ethereal notes, spice and toasted.
  • The palate shows structure and power. Tannins and good acidity evolved contribute confer the right balance of taste. Long and very persistent.
