About

Roagna Barbaresco "Pajé" 2019 is a dry red wine, made from Nebbiolo grapes, grown in the prestigious Barbaresco region of Piedmont, Italy. This wine comes from the Pajé vineyard, a historic cru known for its complex soils and exceptional terroir, producing Nebbiolo with depth and elegance. Roagna, a traditionalist producer, follows extended maceration and aging processes, resulting in a wine that is structured, age-worthy, and expressive of place.

Producer

Luca Roagna is the youngest generation of winemakers in this winery and works side by side with his cheerful father Alfredo. From 15 hectares of vineyards, both Barbaresco and Barolo are produced here. The history of the family begins in the commune of Barbaresco, where Luca's grandfather acquired the Pajé vineyard in the 1950s. To understand the wines of the Roanha dynasty, it is important to know that winemakers adhere to the principle of the development of the biological variety sélection massale (renewal of vineyards using cuttings of old vines), as well as the fact that grapes are harvested from ancient vineyards (some are more than 100 years old - for example, in the commune of Falleto ). The wine selection is dominated by three Cru Barbaresco: Pajé, Crichet Pajé and Pajé Riserva; the difference lies in the direction in which the vineyards are oriented and in the age of the vines. The Roanha family has never been afraid of innovations and since 1982 they have been offering a mixture of Nebbiolo grapes from different years: vino di tavola - a table wine called Opera Prima, and since 1988 - a mixture of white wines Solea, Chardonnay and Nebbiolo.

Tasting notes

Roagna Barbaresco “Pajé” 2019 opens with aromas of dried roses, red cherries, and earthy spice, layered with hints of licorice and tobacco. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, with firm yet refined tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The wine displays a remarkable balance between elegance and power, with great aging potential.

Pairing

Roagna Barbaresco “Pajé” 2019 pairs wonderfully with truffle risotto, wild mushroom dishes, or roasted game meats, where its structure and depth enhance earthy and savory flavors. It also complements aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino, highlighting the wine’s complexity.

Nebbiolo

All products from this varietal

Nebbiolo wines tipically have rich, but elegant tannins, high acidity and unic scent – often characterized as "roses and tar". After a few years of vintage, most Nebbiolo wines begin fading from intensive ruby to a glorious brick orange color and developing flavors of mushroom, moss, leather and black pepper.

Barbaresco

All products from this village

Barbaresco wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape. Compared with the great neighbour Barolo these local wines are softer and ripen faster. These wines are loved for their wonderful combination of tenderness, subtlety and strength, as well as the strong and velvety aftertaste and the aroma of violets.
