This plot is a true gem, protected upstream by the imposing Rocche di Castiglione Falletto and downstream by dense forest, conditions that create a unique microclimate and ideal soil for growing Nebbiolo. Roagna's dedication to viticulture that respects the life of the soil translates into an authentic and profound expression of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerrior \u003c\/strong\u003eThe vines that produce this extraordinary Barolo boast an age of over 25 years. Roagna's philosophy is reflected in the exclusive selection of massal-trained vines, obtained by pruning the vineyard's oldest vines. This rigorous selection ensures that each grape contributes to a wine of great character, faithful to its terroir. Manual harvesting and meticulous selection of the grapes, first in the vineyard and then in the cellar, ensure only the finest raw materials.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacteristics \u003c\/strong\u003eThe 2014 Roagna Barolo Pira DOCG displays a captivating garnet red color, occasionally with orange highlights. On the nose, it opens with a complex and ethereal bouquet, with notes of fruit preserved in alcohol, spice, cocoa, and hints of fine wood and violet. On the palate, it reveals a powerful yet elegant structure, with firm, well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and remarkable persistence. This long-lived wine can be fully enjoyed now, but will reveal its best after further cellaring, evolving in complexity over a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairings \u003c\/strong\u003eIdeal for accompanying robust and flavorful dishes, the Barolo Pira DOCG 2014 Roagna pairs magnificently with red meat dishes, such as braised meats, hearty roasts, and game.

Owned by the noble Falletti family, and later Zocha (now Zotta), in past centuries it was directly connected to the castle by a private road.\u003cbr\u003eFacing southeast, on the Serralunga and Perno slopes, it originated from the disintegration of the Rocche di Castiglione. It is a geographical denomination, a monopoly, and has been owned by our family since 1989, the year it was purchased. Of the eleven towns within the Barolo zone, Castiglione Falletto is the central one.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe soils are of marine sedimentary origin dating back to the Helvetian (this geological formation is the oldest in the Barolo area and includes Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba, and Monforte) in the Tertiary era. Pira, formed by the disintegration of the Rocche, features multiple alternating layers of white limestone, gray marl, blue marl, and sand, with a high content of minerals such as iron.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIt is our largest vineyard: 7 hectares of vineyards and 4 hectares of woodland, with a unique soil and microclimate, protected at the top by the Rocche di Castiglione and downstream by the forest with a stream flowing from the Bussia di Monforte. It is the perfect habitat for our viticulture concept, respectful of the life of the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe grape varieties grown are Barbera, Chardonnay, and, to a greater extent, Nebbiolo. We can classify six micro-plots, with varying vine ages and soil compositions, from Rocca limestone to bluish marl. The vines are exclusively massale-trained, using wood obtained by pruning the old Pira vines.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe oldest plant dates back to 1937. We have an experimental field of seed vines from all our historic vineyards, to search for daughter plants suitable for increasing the biodiversity of the various plots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roagna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51857106633035,"sku":"VIN01755","price":263.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6616\/2598\/files\/VIN01755_BaroloPiraDOCG2014Roagna_2c974e7e-431d-4822-8de8-281df0f4dd2f.png?v=1747835883","url":"https:\/\/cosidilposto.com\/en\/products\/barolo-pira-docg-2014-roagna","provider":"Cose del Posto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
