WINE DESCRIPTION

Renowned as one of Piedmont's finest producers, Roagna is celebrated for the depth, purity, and aging potential of their wines. Sourced from the Pira cru, the fruit undergoes over two months of skin contact and ages an additional five years in neutral French and Slavonian oak at the winery. The result is precise red cherry fruit with nuances of cedar, tobacco, and mint that linger on the lengthy finish. A genuine delight, this wine is crafted through organic practices.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This elegant Barbera d'Alba from Roagna offers aromas of ripe cherries, wild berries, violets, and a hint of tobacco.On the palate, it is lush and full-bodied with a concentration of flavors and a long, balanced finish. There are generous tannins and a lively acidity that keep the flavors vibrant and refreshing. Perfect for pairing with a variety of dishes, from roasted vegetables and creamy cheeses to mushroom risotto or a charcuterie board. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to let it develop further complexity.
