Roagna ' Dolcetto d'Alba 2024 '

Roagna is one of Northern Italy's most respected and traditional family wineries, deeply rooted in the historic Piedmontese wine region, particularly Barbaresco and Barolo. The Roagna family was already making wine in Barbaresco long before the official classification of the DOCG areas in the late 19th century, and since then, the estate has become a benchmark for those seeking classic Nebbiolo wines that demonstrate true terroir expression. Roagna's history dates back to the 1800s, but the modern era truly began in the 20th century when the family acquired its historic vineyards such as Pajé and later also plots in Castiglione Falletto (Pira). These plots are situated on very calcareous soils with a deep history and form the basis of their distinctive, long-lived wines. Today, Luca Roagna heads the estate, where he continues the family tradition alongside his father Alfredo. Luca represents the fifth generation and took charge in the cellar around 2001. He combines respect for tradition with a personal vision of winemaking and terroir.

Description: The nose opens with fresh, pure aromas of dark red fruit such as cherry, cassis, and berries, alongside floral hints (violets) and light spicy notes. Due to longer maceration and aging, the wine gains energy and texture on the palate with bright acidity, polished tannins, and a juicy, almost crunchy fruitiness, supported by a soft bitterness at the end reminiscent of almond, typical of a well-made Dolcetto.

Pairs well with: Pasta with ragù or spicy tomato sauces, roasted pork, Vitello tonnato, charcuterie
