Description
 
The small winery of the Roagna family is located in the Italian wine-growing region of Piedmont at the foot of the Alps. The quality of the Barolo and Barbaresco wines, handcrafted from old vines, is among the best that these areas can offer. The owners work according to well thought-out, tradition-oriented principles: consistently on grassy, biodiverse vineyards with some ancient vines, consistently without the use of fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides - and with a great deal of patience for maceration and maturation.

The 2013 Barbera d'Alba sees fruit sourced exclusively from the Pira vineyard. Part of the vineyard was planted in faraway 1937, and another part in 1990, so the wine’s complexity and finesse is due to many factors, including the mixed ages of the vines. Roagna holds the wine back for five years before its commercial release. It is partially aged in oak (for two and a half years) and cement before the final wine is assembled and put back into cement for a final stage of integration and rest. This vintage was bottled in August 2018. The intent with this wine is to maintain the freshness of the vintage and to avoid big alcohol. As a result, you get fine and delicate blackberry aromas followed by medium structure, soft tannins and crisp berry intensity, and all these elements are beautifully played off one another.
