Some of the finest wines in all of Italy today are being made by Luca Roagna, the fifth generation to bottle under his last name in Barbaresco. The Roagna family has some of the most prestigious holdings in Barbaresco’s top crus of Asili, Albesani, and Paje, along with a carefully growing selection in a few Barolo crus, including their well-known monopole, Pira, in Castiglione Falletto. From Dolcetto d’Alba to their top Riservas, the wines are nothing short of formidable and an uncompromising representation of Piemontese wine.

Roagna

The Roagna family history in Barbaresco dates back over 100 years, and they have slowly added choice parcels in some of the top areas of Barbaresco and Barolo. Since joining the family in 2001, Luca Roagna has been crafting wines that represent traditional Piemontese winemaking with a particular modern flair that has captured the eye of wine lovers across the globe. Today, Roagna has two wineries: one based in Barolo near their vineyard of Pira, and the historic winery based in the commune of Barbaresco.

One particularity about Roagna is the focus on single-vineyard production that is typically broken up into several separate bottlings and harvested in multiple passes. Any fruit from vines younger than 25 years old is blended into the general Langhe Nebbiolo bottling—making it one of the great values in all of Piemonte, considering the fruit comes from vines planted in their most famous vineyard sites. The Barbaresco and Barolo normale wines come from vines aged 25 to 50 years, and the Vecchie Viti comes entirely from vines that are 50 or more years old. The estate’s top wine, Crichet Paje, is built from a few rows of old selection massale vines in the Paje vineyard that were previously saved by the family for special occasions.

The family is a huge proponent of old vines and their ability to add complexity to their bottlings. When asked about the end of a vine’s life, Luca says no one in the history of the Roagna family has ever ripped out vines because they were too old. Macerations at the winery last three months before extended aging in botti. For the normale wines, aging ranges from two to three years before release, and the Riservas can remain at the winery for 15 to 16 years.
