Roagna
Roagna is a venerable winery based in the renowned Barbaresco and Barolo regions of Piemonte, Italy, celebrated for its commitment to crafting traditional, terroir-driven wines of exceptional quality. Founded in the late 19th century by Giovanni Roagna, this family-owned estate has upheld a steadfast dedication to both organic viticulture and traditional winemaking practices across generations.
Roagna's vineyards are strategically located in prime crus throughout Barbaresco and Barolo, including prestigious sites like Paje, Asili, Pira, La Rocca, La Pira, and Vigna Rionda. These vineyard parcels benefit from diverse soils rich in calcareous marl and clay, fostering the development of Nebbiolo grapes renowned for their depth, complexity, and aging potential.
The winemaking philosophy at Roagna revolves around minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the grapes' natural expression to shine through. Long macerations and extended aging periods in large Slavonian oak barrels are standard practices, ensuring the wines evolve harmoniously and reflect the nuances of their terroir.
Roagna is particularly revered for its Barbaresco wines, characterized by their structure, elegance, and vibrant flavors of red berries, floral nuances, and earthy undertones. Similarly, their Barolo wines exemplify the power and finesse of Nebbiolo, offering layers of complexity and a graceful evolution in the bottle.
