Description
Roagna Barbaresco Albesani is an Italian wine, originally from the Piedmont region, specifically from the Barbaresco appellation. This red wine is made exclusively with the Nebbiolo variety, one of the most prestigious grapes in Italy, known for producing wines of great structure and longevity.
The Albesani vineyard is located at an altitude of 240 metres above sea level, occupying the highest part of the hill and bordering the Santo Stefano area. This privileged location has a soil enriched with a high concentration of active lime, which guarantees the production of wines with a solid and defined structure. In this plot, old Nebbiolo vines are cultivated, with an approximate age of 50 years. It is important to note that these vines come exclusively from massal selections, that is to say, they have been reproduced from the best plants in the vineyard itself in order to maintain the original quality and characteristics.
Winemaking
The vinification of this wine is a reflection of tradition and innovation. Fermentation is carried out in large oak barrels for ten days, using a vat foot created from indigenous yeasts. A distinctive technique used is the submerged cap technique, which can last between 60 and 70 days. This technique allows for a gentler and longer extraction of compounds from the skins, resulting in a wine with greater depth and complexity. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 5 years in neutral toasted oak barrels, the traditional Italian barrels. These barrels allow the wine to breathe and evolve, without adding additional flavours from the wood.
Taste
Roagna Barbaresco Albesani is characterised by balance and complexity. Despite its solid tannic structure, it has a delicate and smooth texture. On the nose and palate, notes of macerated cherry, plum and flowers are revealed, accented by hints of liquorice and minerals. The finish is long and resonant. According to Wine Spectator, this wine will reveal its best between 2025 and 2042, which speaks to its ageing potential.
