Roagna – Barolo del Comune di Barolo – 2014

The Roagna Winery is located in the heart of the Langhe, in Barbaresco. The year of birth dates back to 1880, a story of hard work, deep love for the territory and the right innovation to seek excellent quality. Biodiversity has always been a fundamental aspect in which the company has absolutely believed, in fact the work in the vineyard is obsessive, the youngest plants are forty, they do not fertilize, they do not irrigate, they do not top, moreover the selection it is massal and not clonal. In the cellar the rules do not change, on the contrary the pied de cuve of indigenous yeasts is used to start the fermentation, maceration on the skins with submerged cap for more than two months and to finish very long maturation; in fact the wines are always put on sale at least one year later than what the specification says. Today the winery is led by Luca, who now represents the fifth generation, and by his father Alberto, we can define them as winemakers of the past because they are true connoisseurs of their vineyards and their land.
The Barolo of the Municipality of Barolo is produced with grapes from a small plot in the Terlo vineyard, a majestic slope that gives us wines of solid structure and great character. Since 2013, the company has been producing, in a very limited number of about 1000 bottles, an extremely balanced wine, structure, power, good acidity and a long and very persistent finish. 2014, a fresher vintage that gave us wines that play on freshness and verticality, pleasant and ready now.
