Description
What kind of wine it is
Langhe Rosso by Roagna is a still red wine that precisely expresses the character of Piedmont. This red blend offers a structured profile, with an intense colour and an elegant style, designed to ensure remarkable longevity. On the palate, it is harmonious and complex, making it the ideal accompaniment for elaborate first courses, succulent meats and platters of cured meats or mature cheeses. To fully appreciate its aromatic bouquet, it is recommended to decant for one hour before serving.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Langhe region, an area in Piedmont historically linked to prestigious wine production. The grapes come from young vines of around twenty years, selected exclusively through careful massal selection. This practice helps preserve the local genetic heritage, ensuring the continuity of viticulture and the authenticity of the region. The rigorous approach in the vineyard is reflected in a wine that enhances the natural concentration of the fruit, delivering a clear Langhe expression deeply connected to its origin.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with fermentation in wooden vats, naturally started by a pied de cuve of indigenous yeasts, which lasts for about ten days. Afterwards, the must remains in contact with the skins for at least two months using the ancient technique of submerged cap maceration with staking. This meticulous artisanal process concludes with a long maturation of about five years in oak barrels and concrete tanks. This choice of ageing gives stability and enhances the wine’s evolution, preserving its primary characteristics without imparting pronounced woody notes.
