Roagna

Barbera d'Alba 2020

Roagna gives Barbera the patience usually reserved for its Barolo and Barbaresco. Old estate vines, extended submerged-cap maceration and years in neutral wood and concrete turn a supposedly straightforward Piedmontese grape into a serious cellar wine.

Tasting Notes

Dark berries, red plum and sour cherry leap from the glass with remarkable energy. Bright fruit and lively acidity combine to create a Barbera that feels both generous and effortlessly refreshing.

About Roagna

Luca Roagna represents the latest generation working in this historical wine estate, alongside his genial father Alfredo, whose 15 hectares of vine cover Barbaresco and Barolo wine production. However, the family's roots lie in Barbaresco, where Luca's grandfather bought the Paje vineyard in the 1950s.

About Piedmont

Piedmont sits in the northwest of Italy and is known for producing some of the country’s most distinctive and characterful wines. Nebbiolo is the headline act here, forming the backbone of Barolo and Barbaresco wines with firm structure and bright acidity. Barbera and Dolcetto add more easy-going everyday (and great value) options, while the region also produces crisp whites from Arneis and Nascetta, as well as the lightly sparkling, sweet Moscato d’Asti. Winemaking in Piedmont leans on tradition with a focus on expressing each vineyard site clearly. The result is a region defined by clarity, structure, and a strong sense of place in every style.
