Roagna Riserva Pira Barolo 2006

This compelling, fragrant red offers stunning aromas of woodland berry, new leather, pipe tobacco, pressed rose and the barest whiff of tar. The palate shows finesse and complexity, delivering juicy cranberry, red cherry, licorice and baking spice framed in tightly wound, elegant tannins. It’s still youthfully austere, with vibrant acidity that promises decades of aging potential. Drink 2026-2056. Cellar Selection. Score – 100. (Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2022)
