Description
What kind of wine it is
Roagna Barbaresco Gallina is an elegant still red wine that precisely interprets the character of Nebbiolo. On the palate, it offers a warm and full sip, supported by refined tannins that accompany a structured and persistent drink. Its complex and defined nature is designed to evolve beautifully over time, maintaining its gustatory balance. In the glass, it displays a typical ruby red hue enhanced by garnet reflections, introducing a complex aromatic profile.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Piedmont, in the Neive area, within the historic Gallina geographical mention of Barbaresco. The vineyards are rooted in clay-limestone soil with a significant sandy component, characteristics that give Nebbiolo finesse and definition. This terroir imparts a multifaceted olfactory range to the wine, dominated by notes of ripe wild berries and lavender. The bouquet is enriched with menthol notes, balsamic hints of cinnamon and cloves, Sichuan pepper, finishing with scents of dry leaves, porcini mushroom and a distinct mineral note.
How it is produced
Production begins with manual harvesting at perfect physiological ripeness, followed by a double selection of the bunches. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats for about ten days, triggered exclusively by indigenous yeasts prepared using pied de cuve. The process continues with a prolonged submerged cap maceration, essential for extracting polyphenolic substances with great balance. Finally, the long maturation takes place in neutral oak barrels and cement tanks, containers specifically chosen to respect the authentic expression of the fruit without overpowering it with overly pronounced tertiary aromas.
