Roagna
Roagna is a historic and highly respected Italian wine producer based in Barbaresco, Piedmont. The winery was founded in 1890 and has been family-owned for five generations. Today it is run by Luca Roagna together with his father Alfredo Roagna, continuing a long tradition of producing classic, terroir-driven wines. Roagna is known for its very traditional approach to winemaking, particularly with the Nebbiolo grape, which is used to produce Barbaresco and Barolo wines. The estate focuses on expressing individual vineyard sites (crus) and uses long macerations and extended aging to produce structured wines with significant aging potential.
Description
The 2018 Barbaresco Faset is bright, effusive and charming, in other words, everything Faset should be. Sweet dried cherry, mint, spice, tobacco and cedar are all nicely delineated. The Faset is a very pretty, understated Barbaresco. It’s a delight to taste today. 92pt” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com
