The aromatic bouquet opens with notes of blood orange, pomegranate, strawberry and raspberry, enriched by dog rose and violet. Hints of undergrowth and balsamic notes then emerge, with delicate touches of pink pepper, cardamom, ash and dark chocolate. On the palate, it reveals \u003cstrong\u003emasterful freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e and pronounced savouriness, harmoniously balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sip proceeds elegantly and in balance, finishing with a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finale\u003c\/strong\u003e that highlights the wine's structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates from the historic Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, protected by the Rocche and the surrounding woodland. The vines, which are over twenty-five years old, come from a \u003cstrong\u003emassal selection\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out by recovering cuttings from the oldest plants in the plot. The agronomic management is based on strict \u003cstrong\u003erespect for the soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, bringing the bunches to optimal physiological ripeness. Harvesting is carried out exclusively by \u003cstrong\u003emanual picking\u003c\/strong\u003e in small crates, preceded by two careful selections to preserve the maximum integrity of the fruit before processing in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production method favours long timescales to enhance the qualities of the grape variety. Fermentation begins in wooden vats thanks to a pied de cuve made from \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. The must then undergoes a prolonged \u003cstrong\u003esubmerged cap maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e of around sixty to seventy days, an essential step for precise and delicate extraction of colour and tannins. Ageing continues for about five years in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and cement tanks, a technical choice that defines the final structure, ensuring measured evolution without ever overpowering the natural identity of the grape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarolo Pira by Roagna, an authentic expression of Nebbiolo from Castiglione Falletto, is produced from vines over 25 years old originating from \u003cstrong\u003emassal selection\u003c\/strong\u003e.
