Roagna – Langhe Rosso – 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.
Langhe Rosso is produced with Nebbiolo grapes from the youngest plants in the Pajè crus in Barbaresco and Pira in Castiglione Falletto. Like all the wines of the Roagna winery, austerity and tradition are the key elements, a red of great complexity, important but not intrusive tannins, long and refined persistence. A bottle with a long aging potential.
2014, a fresher vintage that gave us wines that play on freshness and verticality, pleasant and ready now.
