100% Nebbiolo.

The vines are southwest-facing and planted on limestone, clay, and sandy soils. Luca treats all his Cru vineyard wines the same way: a relatively late harvest, as full phenolic ripeness is crucial for Roagna to achieve its incredible finesse and polished, delicate tannins. After fermentation, the pomace remains in contact with the wine for two more months before being racked. This is followed by five years of aging, at least three of which are in large wooden barrels, the remainder in concrete.

Surprisingly approachable and refined. Luca emphasizes that this is due to the late, ripe harvest. His wines never have grippy or even dry tannins.

The tannins are ultra-finely integrated, and the beauty of this wine lies in its combination of infinitely refined elegance with balanced structure. A truly chic wine!

Roagna

Roagna is located directly in Barbaresco. Luca runs the family winery with his father.

Only 12 hectares are cultivated with the utmost care and work is done in the traditional style. Luca vinifies his wines reductively, meaning almost excluding oxygen. He does this traditionally in large wooden barrels that are five times thicker than a classic barrique, thus allowing hardly any oxygen exchange through the wood pores. In addition, he ages his wines on the fine lees, which is like a youth serum. Similar to the aging of classic champagne, the wines age on the lees very, very slowly. This means the wines need significantly more time to blossom. With the greatest effort, the small operation achieves the masterful performance of marketing the wines as late as possible.

As a result, Barolo and Barbaresco usually appear on average a vintage later than many other producers. The vines are up to 80 years old.

The focus is clearly on Barbaresco, alongside some Barolo. Very exciting is also the Langhe Bianco Solea, a cuvée of Chardonnay and white-pressed Nebbiolo. A wine that, like the reds, lives from its structure.
