About
Roagna Barolo Chinato is a semi-sweet fortified red wine, crafted from 100% Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the prestigious Barolo appellation in Piedmont, Italy. This unique wine is infused with a secret blend of herbs and spices, creating a traditional Piedmontese digestif known for its aromatic complexity and balanced sweetness. Roagna, a renowned producer, employs meticulous winemaking and aging techniques to produce this distinctive and aromatic fortified wine.
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 Barolo Chinato reveal an intriguing bouquet of dried cherries, cinnamon, cloves, and other exotic spices, complemented by hints of licorice and cocoa. On the palate, it offers a rich, full-bodied texture with a harmonious blend of sweetness and bitterness, featuring flavors of dark chocolate, herbal notes, and a touch of orange peel, leading to a long, warming finish. This Barolo Chinato is celebrated for its depth, complexity, and the seamless integration of spice and fruit elements.
Pairing
Roagna Barolo Chinato pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, such as flourless chocolate cake or chocolate truffles, where its rich flavors enhance the sweetness and intensity of the chocolate. It also complements strong, aged cheeses and serves as an excellent after-dinner digestif, providing a luxurious and aromatic conclusion to a meal.

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.
Barolo wines are the best Nebbiolo can offer - they are luxurious and sophisticated. At young age these wines show uncontrollable temper with sharp and high tannins and almost searing acidity, though already noticeable aromas of violets, red currant and licorice. With age the wine bouquet acquires the wealth and fullness deprived in its youth as the taste becomes more rounded, adding peppery tones and shades of red berries, but the aromas are replaced by flavors of tobacco, leather and tar. Barolo wines are worth saving for important occasions - they are excellent even after 20 years of aging.
