Tasting profile
A silky, balanced Barolo with a soft yet full-bodied mouthfeel and the firm, slightly rasping grip reviewers expect from the style. Notes point to woody, aromatic complexity with ruby-to-coffee color, drinking beautifully now while showing the structure to keep aging.

Summary
It has fruit, spice and earth...of acid and tannin. The length, the elegance, the clarity of expression is absolutely stunning.
Roagna Pira Barolo is Nebbiolo grown in Barolo, bottled as a red. At $183 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $120-and-up band.
288 other reds from Italy form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 803 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 809 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Roagna Pira Barolo lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Italien (289 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 803.
