Roagna Barbaresco “Paje V.V.” 2019
Sommelier recommends
“The nose reveals aromas of ripe red cherry, asphalt, and rich earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is elegant, with juicy flavours of cherry, nuts, and dried red berries. The tannins are pronounced. The finish is elegant.” — Ronalds Pētersons, Sommelier at Noble Wine8 in stock
Roagna Barbaresco “Pajé V.V.” 2019 is a dry red wine crafted from Nebbiolo grapes in the prestigious Barbaresco region of Piedmont, Italy. Made from the estate’s oldest vines in the famous Pajé cru—planted on calcareous marl and limestone soils—this expression reflects the depth and structure of its terroir and rewards long-term cellaring.
On the nose, it unfolds with vibrant aromas of cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, dried rose, orange zest, and licorice, underscored by a pronounced mineral and earthy streak. The palate is refined and intense—medium to full-bodied with firm yet polished tannins, a core of red fruit, layers of spice, leather, tobacco, and scorched earth, all grounded by brisk acidity and a striking mineral finish. Bright acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced despite its powerful structure; the finish is long, chalky in tannin, and layered with depth.
This robust Barbaresco pairs splendidly with hearty roasted meats, wild game, aged cheeses, and richly sauced pastas, complementing its structured tannins and intense flavor profile. Its balance of freshness and gravitas also makes it a great match for traditional Piedmontese dishes and grilled lamb.
