Roagna Langhe Rosso 2020

Discover the majesty of Piedmont with Roagna Langhe Rosso, an oenological gem that redefines the elegance of the Nebbiolo grape.

Crafted by the prestigious Roagna family winery, this red wine is the perfect gateway to understanding the philosophy of minimal intervention and the profound respect for terroir that characterizes this historic house. The grapes come from young vines (between 20 and 25 years old) located in two of the region's most legendary crus: Pajé in Barbaresco and Pira in Castiglione Falletto (Barolo). This masterful combination of limestone soils and marl gives the wine an unparalleled mineral complexity and vibrant structure.

The vinification follows ancestral methods: fermentation with indigenous yeasts, prolonged maceration with a submerged cap for at least two months, and a patient aging of approximately five years in large neutral oak barrels (botti). This meticulous artisanal process ensures that the wine expresses the purity of the fruit and the identity of its origin without masking.

Ideal for collectors and lovers of great Italian wines, the Roagna Langhe Rosso is not just a Langhe, but a mini Barolo/Barbaresco that offers exceptional value for money. Its aging capacity is notable, allowing its nuances to evolve and integrate even further with time in the bottle. Whether for a luxury dinner, a special celebration, or to enrich your personal cellar, this Nebbiolo is a safe choice that will dazzle the most demanding palates. Immerse yourself in Piedmontese tradition and experience the passion of the Roagna family in every glass.
