Roagna, the story

ALBESANI e GALLINA
Thanks to our friendship with the owner of the historic Albesiani and Gallina vineyard in Neive, we have rented portion of the vineyard in order to produce a new Barbaresco wine for Roagna. 2014 was our first year of production.

FASET
In 2013 we began a collaboration with the owner of the historic vineyard Faset in Barbaresco. 2013 was our first year of production.

LE COSTE
We collaborated for one year in the historic vineyard of Le Coste in Monforte d’Alba. The wine was only produced in a very limited quantity from the 2007 vintage.

Barolo Le Coste »

We introduced a new concept creating our old vine Viti Vecchie wine in order to produce a wine with the best expression of terroir from each vineyard.

We began vinifiying each single vineyard wine in 2004 including Asili, Montefico, Paje, and Pira.

VIGNA RIONDA
We collaborated with Tommaso Canale for four years, in fact these were the last four years of this vineyard.
