About this wine

Gallina is one of Neive’s warmest, most textural crus, and Roagna’s 2016 bottling shows the site’s generosity within a firmly traditional frame. The bouquet mixes rose, red berries, menthol and sweet spice with a subtle balsamic edge. The palate is intense yet tightly woven, with Marasca cherry, orange zest and licorice balanced by chalky, mouth-coating tannins and bright acidity. This is a wine that will unfold over a decade or more, ideal for Nebbiolo fans who enjoy depth and grip.

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.
