PRACTICING ORGANIC FARMING
"The fine estate of Roagna has long roots in the commune of Barbaresco, having been started very early in the twentieth century by Vincenzo Roagna... Today the property is run by Luca Roagna, the fifth generation of the family... The style of the estate’s wines has been carefully passed down through all five generations of Roagna family, with the wines made in a very traditional and classic style. These are deep, complex and structured wines that are built to age and handsomely reward cellaring... fermentation still includes a full sixty day maceration before aging in large, Slavonian oak botti for anywhere from three to five years (depending on the quality of the vintage) prior to bottling. The wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, and often the estate will also hold back the wines for several years of further bottle aging prior to release." - BEAUNE IMPORTS
KERIN O'KEEFE 95 POINTS - "Lovely and elegantly structured, the 2017 Gallina from Roagna has aromas and flavors of red berry, forest floor, cranberry and dog rose. It shows great tension and balance, with taut tannins and surprisingly fresh acidity for the hot vintage while a note of star anise lingers on the close. "
