Where it comes from
The grapes cultivated by Roagna come from Piedmont, in the heart of the Dolcetto d’Alba area. The vineyard is composed of old vines over fifty years old, a fundamental viticultural heritage to ensure depth and consistent quality. The roots delve into deep limestone soils, capable of giving the wine a marked freshness and a vibrant aromatic definition. This geological structure ensures a firm link with the territory, offering the structure necessary to withstand the passage of time.
How it is produced
Production follows a rigorous approach, characterised by a long submerged cap maceration that can last up to a hundred days. This technique allows for a slow and gradual extraction, precisely defining the profile and stability of the wine. Ageing lasts about a year and takes place in wooden barrels and cement tanks, a choice aimed at respecting the purity of the Dolcetto grape. To fully enjoy its complexity, a one-hour decanting is recommended before serving.
