Roagna, Barolo 'Pira' 2017

Place: Piedmont, Italy

Grape: Nebbiolo

Vibe: Quality

Old school Barolo vibes here, but with that classic Roagna magic thrown in. We're talking red cherry, strawberry, almond, aniseed, menthol... how many tasting notes is too many? Roagna makes things hard on that front, this is complex as heck. Fine, dusty tannins, but above all this is bright, with a beautiful dried orange peel finish. Serious, serious stuff. ABV: 14%
