ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2018 Roagna Barbaresco "Albesani" is a stunning example of Nebbiolo from the prestigious Albesani cru in the Barbaresco appellation. The Albesani vineyard, located in Neive, is known for producing wines of remarkable finesse and depth. The Nebbiolo grapes are sourced from old vines, some over 50 years old, which are organically farmed and carefully hand-harvested. The wine undergoes a traditional, extended maceration process, followed by aging in large, neutral oak casks for several years. This slow, patient approach allows the wine to develop its complex aromas and flavors while maintaining a balance of power and grace. The 2018 vintage is particularly expressive, with the structure to age for decades, making it an excellent choice for cellaring. This Barbaresco pairs beautifully with game, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.
