ROAGNA, TO ACHIEVE THE FINEST EXPRESSION OF A TERROIR, IT IS ESSENTIAL TO WORK WITH OLD VINES.

The uniqueness and beauty of a vineyard is most evident with vines that have very deep root systems.

The soils in the Langhe are of marine sedimentary origin, with layers of calcareous clay alternating with grey-bluish marl and sand. The authenticity of each individual expression stems from minimal differences in the subsoil. A plant more than fifty years old, with roots embedded in multiple sedimentary stratifications that differ from one geographical mention to another, can draw unique nutrients and microelements, interpreting the identity of the land parcel in question in the best way possible.

Our vines are neither fertilised nor irrigated. The soil is completely grassed over, encouraging the root systems to penetrate deeper.

Roagna Description

BAROLO CHINATO

Fermented wines with added herbs and spices have been produced since ancient times. In the Langhe, the advent of Barolo Chinato can be attributed to a certain Dr Cappellano, a pharmacist from Serralunga d'Alba, who created this elixir for curative purposes at the end of the 19th century. Over the years, the various families of the Langa developed their own recipes, based on family tastes and the herbs they found in the vineyards.
Our Barolo Chinato comes from an old family recipe. The base is Barolo Pira, aged for a long time and with the full development of secondary aromas. Different infusions of herbs, barks and flowers in Grappa di Barolo are added to the aged wine; this elixir spends a few more months resting and is then bottled.
Production is very limited, with about 300 bottles per edition.
