Roagna ‘Barbaresco’ 3-Pack

From Roagna’s parcel in Albesani at Neive, where old Nebbiolo vines grow on calcareous clay. It is one of the darker and more structured wines in the range, opening with black cherry, rose, spice and iron before the site’s firm, finely grained tannins take over. Built for a long life in bottle. 95 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

Gallina’s calcareous clay contains more sand than many of Roagna’s other sites, giving this Barbaresco a particularly fragrant, supple character. Red cherry, flowers, anise and savoury spice sit over refined tannins, while the 2019 vintage adds depth without dulling the wine’s energy. 93 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

Pajè has been central to the Roagna story since 1953. The vineyard forms a limestone-rich amphitheatre below the family cellar in Barbaresco, producing Nebbiolo with perfume, tension and unmistakable mineral drive. Red cherry, rose, blood orange and spice lead into a long, tightly drawn finish. 96 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous.
