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 96 POINTS - "The Pajè 2017 from Roagna is beautiful, pristine and precise, delivering sensations of strawberry, blood orange, sage, licorice and ground clove. It has great tension, with taut, refined tannins and uplifting acidity. Give it several more years to fully unwind. Drink 2027–2037. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O’Keefe August 2023 ©kerinokeefe.com"
WINE ADVOCATE 94+ POINTS - "Showing a transparent or almost naked quality of fruit, the Roagna 2017 Barbaresco Pajè is a lovely and graceful wine that maintains an exceptional feeling of lightness and elegance despite everything we've heard about this hot and dry vintage. The workmanship is exceptional in the Pajè with chiseled aromas of forest berry, iris root, licorice and a subtle dusting of white pepper. The mouthfeel is characterized by extremely fine tannins. This is a production of 6,757 bottles."
