The Barolo Riserva Pira Roagna 2006 is a wine that exemplifies traditional winemaking practices in the Barolo region. This vintage reveals an initial muscularity, characterised by savoury notes of dried herbs, earthy clay and subtle floral undertones. Tasting reveals flavours of tart cherry, hints of leather, and an intriguing minerality. The tannic structure is firm yet polished, showing a balance of lively acidity and depth. Roagna, a family-run estate with a history dating back to the late 19th century, emphasises terroir-driven expressions in its wines.

The 2006 Barolo Pira Riserva Black Label is a tiny selection of about 2,400 bottles that spent five years in cask and then a decade in cement. Dense, exotic and beautifully layered, the Riserva captures that sense of timelessness that is often a signature of the Roagna wines - a place in time in which wines are both aged and young at the same time. It's that co-existence in two different worlds that defines many of the best wines here. Spice, orange zest, chocolate, spice, star anise and sweet pipe tobacco lend nuance to a wine that is just entering its first plateau of maturity.Antonio Galloni1st October 2021
