{"product_id":"roagna-langhe-rosso-2020","title":"Roagna - Langhe Rosso 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fine estate of Roagna has long roots in the commune of Barbaresco, having been started very early in the twentieth century by Vincenzo Roagna. Vincenzo passed on the reigns to his son Giovanni Roagna, who in his turn saw his son Alfredo succeed him as the head of the estate. Today the property is run by Luca Roagna, the fifth generation of the family. Luca was born in 1980 and succeeded in winemaking for the property soon after he graduated from oenological school in 2001. The style of the estate’s wines has been carefully passed down through all five generations of the Roagna family, with the wines made in a very traditional and classic style. These are deep, complex, and structured wines that are built to age and handsomely reward cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinification techniques at Roagna are still traditional though Luca has made noteworthy improvements and changes to the process. The fermentations are in cask and the macerations have gone from around thirty days to, on average, 60-90 days. The aging regimen depends a bit on the cru and vintage but goes from 2-3 years to sometimes 8-10 and as much as 15-16 years for the Riserva. Luca has also switched all of their oak to the highest quality French oak 10cm thick – twice the thickness of a standard cask. These casks allow for a very slow micro-oxygenation which adds to the elegance of the finished wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to their fine Barbaresco and Barolo bottlings, the property also makes a Langhe Rosso cuvée from “younger Nebbiolo vines” which in Luca’s case are under 25 years – hardly young by other producers’ standards. All of the estate’s wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many traditional Barolo or Barbaresco producers, the wines of Roagna improve immeasurably if decanted for a significant period of time prior to drinking, even when the wines have spent several years in the cellar. The estate has a long and successful history, but Luca has certainly taken the estate to the highest echelon of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Roagna\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003ePiedmont\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal: \u003c\/strong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Langhe DOC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SGWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46252258754696,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/2239\/7832\/files\/Roagna_-_Langhe_Rosso_2020.jpg?v=1785348044","url":"https:\/\/vinonueva.com\/products\/roagna-langhe-rosso-2020","provider":"VinoNueva Fine \u0026 Rare Wine Miami","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
