Description
What kind of wine it is
Roagna Barbaresco Paje Vecchie Viti is a still red wine from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo grapes. An expression of the prestigious Barbaresco area, it stands out for its structured and precise style, supported by a refined tannic texture and a savoury finish. The aromatic profile is clear, characterised by aromas of red fruit, ripe blackberry and sweet liquorice, enriched with balsamic and mentholated notes. This wine offers an authentic interpretation of the region, ensuring continuity of flavour and full adherence to the Pajè area.
Where it comes from
This red is born in the heart of Barbaresco, within the Pajè designation. Its uniqueness derives from the selection of historic vines, aged between fifty and eighty years. Through massal selection, the genetic origin of the vines is rigorously preserved. The deeply developed root system allows the extraction of nutrients from multiple layers of soil. This interaction results in a complex territorial expression, enhancing the pedoclimatic characteristics and ensuring an extremely limited production.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with fermentation in barrels, a technical choice that defines the wine's structure from the outset. Subsequently, the process involves maturation in barrels for 18 months, an essential period to complete the settling of the flavour texture and stabilise the aromatic profile. The entire approach reflects a close connection with the original vineyard, respecting the natural rhythms of the raw material. The final result maintains a perfect correspondence between nose and palate, finishing the tasting with a long and defined savoury trail.
History and Curiosities
Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti from the historic Roagna winery is born from a careful selection of the oldest vines, some of which are nearly 80 years old. This exclusive massal selection Nebbiolo offers an authentic and complex expression of the terroir, drawing on the deepest nutrients in the soil thanks to an extremely well-developed root system. Produced in a limited edition of just 2,000-3,000 bottles per year, this label is capable of evolving over time, ensuring extraordinary longevity.
