about this wine:
The grapes assigned to the production of this wine come from selections of vineyards with a Southern, South-Eastern exposure in the area of Rocche di Castiglione Falletto from the historical Cascina Pira. The qualities of sandy-calcareous soil in this area give a unique tannic heritage with very elegant olfactory sensations.

Roagna's 2004 Barolo La Rocca e la Pira is awesome. A sensual, layered Barolo, the wine emerges from the glass with gorgeous inner perfume, power and depth in its dark fruit. The aromatics seem to be developing faster than the fruit and structural components. My impression is that this won't be a terribly long-lived wine, but it should drink well to age twenty or so. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. -Antonio Galloni
