FEATURES

The 2006 Roagna Barolo Pira Riserva hails from an excellent vintage in Piedmont, characterized by a cooler growing season that saw warm, dry days in early summer. This particular Riserva was released 10-15 years after the vintage, showcasing the winemaker's dedication and the unique expression of ancient Nebbiolo vines. It's celebrated as a "high-flying vintage and an outstanding Barolo chiselled to perfection." This compelling red offers stunning aromas of woodland berry, new leather, pipe tobacco, pressed rose, and a bare whiff of tar. The palate reveals finesse and complexity, with juicy cranberry, red cherry, licorice, and baking spice framed by tightly wound, elegant tannins. Despite its age, it remains youthfully austere with vibrant acidity, promising decades of aging potential, with a recommended drinking window from 2026–2056. Initially muscular and reductive, it evolves to show mineral tones of savory rhubarb, clay, and pot-pourri, alongside cinnamon, wild strawberry, and blood orange. Some notes highlight its surprising freshness for a nearly 20-year-old wine, with fine, tight tannins that soften beautifully after extended decanting, revealing exquisite floral notes. Food pairing suggestions include lamb, hearty braises, roasts, and grilled meats. This wine is a superb choice for serious collectors and special occasions, such as a milestone anniversary dinner or a dedicated vertical tasting, where its profound evolution can be fully appreciated. 【Awarded 100-point scores from Wine Enthusiast and Decanter】
