About
Roagna Barbaresco Pajé is a dry red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, sourced from the Pajé vineyard in the Barbaresco appellation of Piedmont, Italy. This wine reflects the traditional winemaking practices of Roagna, emphasizing long maceration and extended aging to develop depth and complexity. The Pajé vineyard is known for producing Nebbiolo with remarkable elegance and longevity, making this wine a quintessential expression of Barbaresco.
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 reveal an aromatic bouquet of red cherries, roses, and violets, complemented by hints of truffle, leather, and earthy minerality. On the palate, it offers a medium to full-bodied texture with firm tannins and vibrant acidity, featuring flavors of ripe red fruits, licorice, and a touch of spice, leading to a long, refined finish. This Barbaresco is celebrated for its balance, intensity, and the harmonious integration of fruit, floral, and savory elements.
Pairing
Roagna Barbaresco Pajé pairs beautifully with rich meat dishes such as braised beef, lamb, or game, where its structure and complexity enhance the savory flavors. It also complements aged cheeses and truffle-infused dishes, providing a luxurious and satisfying dining experience with its refined and complex character.

Nebbiolo
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
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.
