Roagna is one of the most respected traditional estates in Piedmont, with deep roots in Barbaresco and important holdings also in Castiglione Falletto, in Barolo. Now led by Luca Roagna, the family has become closely associated with old vines, long macerations and a patient approach that puts vineyard character ahead of winemaking fashion.

The wines are built around Nebbiolo, especially from historic sites such as Pajè, Asili, Montefico and Pira. They carry a relatively light signature and unfold with time, showing rose, red fruit, herbs, spice, tar and a firm, savoury structure. Roagna’s best wines have the seriousness of traditional Piedmont, but also a etheral lift, making the estate one of the key references for Barbaresco and Barolo made with patience, restraint and real ageing potential.
