Blackberry, black truffles, red fruits, minerals and flowers. This is superb with a dense and powerful palate of dark fruits and minerals. Goes on for minutes. Tight and racy. Try after 2014.Inc. TAX€2,991.07 -

A plummy wine, with hints of cedar. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a pretty plum and mineral aftertaste. Long and silky. Very fine, yet compacted and powerful. Solid as a rock. Brunate is always great in top years. Best after 2008. 350 cases made. -JSInc. TAX€2,703.07 -

Full red-ruby. Aromas of currant and roast coffee show an almost eau de vie-like ripeness. Rich, fat and utterly creamy; a wine of great lushness. The fine tannins are buried in thick, seamless fruit. The yield here was just 24 hectoliters per hectare, according to Voerzio.Inc. TAX€3,915.07 -

A blend of Chardonnay and Nebbiolo, the 2021 Langhe Bianco Solea offers a good deal intensity on the nose, with a light resinous feel and possibly a light oak influence in its notes of ripe pear, fresh peach, orange citrus, and resin. Salty and intense on the palate, it has a supple texture, but retains lovely focus and tension while having a good bit of depth. Drink 2024-2032.Inc. TAX€862.54 -

The Roagna 2019 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione comes from a 0.49-hectare parcel that was purchased in 2016. The vineyards lay adjacent to Pira, thus opening the possibility for the Roagna family to buy this land. The vines average 50 years old, and the plan is to eventually have this wine join the Vecchie Viti series. Because this is only the fourth year of production, that remains a goal for the future. This distinctive site, one of my personal favorites in the Barolo appellation, always delivers special sharpness and linear focus. You get that here along with a very long finish. The wine has muscle, but it also shows supple roundness and ample fruit weight. This is a wine to watch.Inc. TAX€1,079.03 -

Aside from the Barbaresco Crichet, the 2018 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti is my favorite of these 2018s from Roagna. It displays the elements of the wines from younger vines and intensifies them, with notes of preserved strawberries and raspberries, dewy earth, fresh herbs, sweet flowers, and wet stones. It’s powerful on the palate without weight, offering ripe fruit, savory mineral and salty earth notes, and terrific, ripe structure. It’s long on the palate, revealing notes of dried apricot and spice. Drink 2026-2050.Inc. TAX€2,642.63 -

The 2017 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti dazzles from the very first taste. It offers a wild, intoxicating bouquet married to notable depth, with firm yet polished tannins that wrap it all together. Sweet red fruit, blood orange, rose petal, cinnamon, dried herbs and star anise build as this rich yet classically austere Barolo shows off what it's got. It is a super-classic Roagna wine.Inc.

The 2015 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti needs a bit of time in the glass for an initial whiff of reduction to blow off. As it often is, the Pira Vecchie Viti is an exotic wine built on an intriguing mix of aromatic presence and understated structure. In 2015, the two Pira Barolos are not as different as they usually are. While the Vecchie Viti has terrific persistence, it also is a bit fleeting for this wine.Inc. TAX€1,538.63 -

The 2014 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti is quite delicate and understated for this wine, which also means it will drink well with minimal cellaring. Macerated dark cherry, menthol, licorice, pine, spice, sweet tobacco and leather all develop in the glass. Next to the straight Pira, the Vecchie Vigne has an extra kick of mid-palate sweetness and richness that is quite attractive. For a young Roagna Barolo, the 2014 is very enticing and also accessible.Inc. TAX€1,502.63 -

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.Inc. TAX€737.64 -

Located next to Rocche di Castiglione, the Roagna family has the monopoly on the Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Luca Roagna's parents bought this plot in 1990,m and vine age varies from 35 to 60 years old. Different soils types are spread throughout the parcels. The 2019 Barolo Pira shows a beautiful mineral note with a metallic side that comes through with blazing intensity. It matches earthy sensations and pretty floral notes. This is a wine of exceptional depth and luminosity.Inc. TAX€1,079.03 -

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.Inc. TAX€959.03

Italy has gone from strength to strength, with standards of winemaking improving all the time and more indigenous varietals than ever before reaching foreign markets. Every single region is a treasure trove of undiscovered gems worth exploring, while the more classic wines like Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino have more than caught up in quality with their French counterparts without catching up in price. A dizzying array of style and a natural affinity with food means there is really no need to look any further no matter the occasion.
