Old vines and low yields contribute to the wine’s depth and intensity, while the site’s elevation and exposure preserve freshness and perfume even in warmer vintages. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and extended submerged cap maceration, followed by long ageing in large neutral oak botti designed to preserve terroir transparency rather than oak influence.  The wine shows rose petal, black cherry, blood orange and wild raspberry, layered with liquorice, dried herbs, spice and a deep ferruginous mineral character. The palate is powerful yet finely detailed, with persistent tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish that captures the haunting perfume, structure and energy that make Pira one of the Langhe’s great Nebbiolo sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin \u003cstrong\u003eItaly, Piedmont, Barolo, Castiglione Falletto\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage \u003cstrong\u003e2020\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol \u003cstrong\u003e14.0%\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle \u003cstrong\u003ePowerful, structured, ageworthy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle size \u003cstrong\u003e75cl\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking \u003cstrong\u003eSpontaneous fermentation with extended submerged cap maceration, followed by long élevage in large neutral oak botti to preserve aromatic complexity, structure and terroir transparency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes \u003cstrong\u003eOrganic, Low intervention, Sustainable Viticulture \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roagna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55546345062776,"sku":"BAROLOPIRA-20-RGN-RED","price":177.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/6070\/8993\/files\/Barolo_Pira_Roagna.png?v=1777997592"}],"url":"https:\/\/sipwines.shop\/collections\/roagna.oembed","provider":"SipWines Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
