Note di degustazione
The 1997 Barolo Riserva La Rocca e La Pira is loaded with ripe dark fruit, leather, tobacco, cedar and spice nuances. It offers outstanding length as well as balance in a style that captures the sweet, seductive style of the vintage. Although it retains good freshness for its age I wonder if a shorter stay in oak might have been beneficial in this hot vintage.

Although somewhat closed, Roagna's ruby/garnet-colored 1997 Barolo Rocce e La Pira offers notes of tobacco, spice box, cherries, and dried herbs. Made in a medium-bodied, elegant style, it is not as complete or concentrated as the Barbaresco Paje. Importer: Louis Dressner Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 334-8191.
Informazioni sul produttore
Roagna is one of Italy’s finest estates, producing top, single-vineyard Nebbiolos in Barbaresco and Barolo. The estate’s Crichët Pajé Barbaresco is one of the rarest fine wine cuvées in Piedmont with fewer than 2,000 bottles produced each year.
