Roagna 2018 Barberesco Pira 750ml

The 2018 Barolo Pira boasts a pale ruby and offers notes of preserved strawberries, sweet herbs, flowers, and lavender. It has lovely purity on the palate, revealing fine tannins and balanced, fresh acidity with a weightless feel. I quite prefer this wine to both of the Paje wines. It’s fantastic to enjoy now, but it’s going to benefit from time. Drink 2025-2045.
