About this wine

Roagna’s Barbaresco Albesani 2016 comes from one of Neive’s most revered crus, farmed organically and vinified with the estate’s signature long macerations and extended ageing. The 2016 vintage shows a particularly pure expression of Nebbiolo, with a core of blackberry, redcurrant and roasted plum wrapped in notes of leather, licorice and black tea. Structure is serious but not rustic: the tannins are firm yet refined, balanced by fresh acidity and savoury mineral tones. This is a wine that rewards patience at table and in the cellar, ideal for collectors and lovers of traditional Barbaresco.

Roagna

A cult estate for purists. Roagna is known for long macerations, wild-yeast fermentations, and unhurried aging in large casks. The wines are transparent, earthy, and layered, showing Nebbiolo at its most soulful and terroir-driven. They age slowly and reward drinkers who appreciate nuance, depth, and authenticity.
