Roagna is one of the leading traditionalists in the Barolo region, and if these were different times, all these wines would have been gobbled up already by restaurants in the region. Pira is a historic vineyard located in the village of Castiglione Falletto and originally owned by the noble family who had a private road that connected the vineyard and the castle hundreds of years ago. The vines average 25-50 years of age. In regards to winemaking, Roagna is one of the most strict traditionalists of the region. Fermentation takes place exclusively in large wood casks thanks to a pied de cuve created from their indigenous yeasts. This lasts for ten days and then the skins are macerated for at least two months, (60 to 75 days). The wine is then aged in a neutral oak barrel for approximately 5 years.
