About

Roagna Barbaresco Pajé V.V. is a dry red wine, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the Pajé vineyard in the Barbaresco appellation of Piedmont, Italy. This wine is produced from old vines (V.V. stands for "Vecchie Vigne"), which contribute to its depth and complexity, showcasing the unique terroir and traditional winemaking methods of Roagna. The Pajé vineyard is renowned for its ability to produce Nebbiolo wines with exceptional elegance and longevity.

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 V.V. reveal an aromatic bouquet of red cherries, rose petals, and violets, complemented by hints of truffle, leather, and earthy minerality. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied texture with firm yet refined tannins and vibrant acidity, featuring flavors of ripe red berries, licorice, and a touch of spice, leading to a long, sophisticated finish. This Barbaresco is celebrated for its balance, intensity, and the harmonious integration of fruit, floral, and savory elements.

Pairing

Roagna Barbaresco Pajé V.V. pairs beautifully with rich meat dishes such as braised beef, lamb, or venison, where its structure and complexity enhance the savory flavors. It also complements aged cheeses and mushroom-based dishes, providing a luxurious and satisfying dining experience with its refined and complex character.

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.
