Roagna Langhe Bianco 2021

Roagna is a true benchmark producer of the region. In the early 20th century, Vincenzo Roagna established the Roagna Wine Estate in Italy's historic Barbaresco region. Currently, Lucy Roagna, the fifth generation Roagna family member runs the estate. The wines produced here are not only deep and complex, but rich and classy as well. It can be attributed to the perfect blend of classic and modern winemaking styles followed at the winery here. The Roagna family understood the Barbaresco region's potential many centuries before the other brands started their business here. They are the champions of Barbaresco, and have helped establish it to a similar level to that of neighbouring Barolo. The family owns 20 hectares of land here, out of which 12 are under vine. Here are the details of the historic vineyards that come under the control of the Roagna family. 

This is a fantastically unique wine. A blend of Chardonnay from a vineyard dating back to the 1980s, combined with a tiny percentage of Nebbiolo.  Before being pressed, the grapes undergo two manual selections, to ensure the perfect integrity of the fruit. Fermentation takes place exclusively in wooden vats and lasts about ten days. The wine ages in a neutral oak barrel for about two years.  The production of bottles is minuscule, approximately 5,000-6,000 per vintage, so it’s a fantastic and rare wine to taste.
