Roagna Dolcetto D’Alba 2021

Explore the authenticity of Dolcetto D’Alba with Roagna Dolcetto D’Alba DOC 2021, a wine that captures the essence of the renowned Pajè and Carso vineyards.

Origins and Terroir: Dolcetto D’Alba comes to life in the picturesque vineyards of Pajè and Carso. Pajè, one of Barbaresco’s historic vineyards, is distinguished by its rich limestone marls, with a high content of active limestone. It stretches along the Tanaro River valley, benefiting from a climate mitigated by extreme winters and summers. Karst, from the dialectal meaning “Cors,” is located in the vicinity of the Barbaresco rocks, characterized by an eastern exposure and clay-limestone-sandy soils.

Production Process: The Dolcetto vines, with a minimum age of more than 45 years, bear witness to the deep roots in the soil and the long history of the vineyards. The grapes, harvested at perfect physiological ripeness in September, are selected by hand and processed with the utmost care. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats, using only indigenous yeasts. This process lasts for about ten days, followed by the ancient maceration technique of submerged cap splinting, which lasts for at least 3 months (90-100 days). The wine then matures in neutral oak barrels for about a year, allowing for balanced and harmonious aging.

Tasting Notes: Roagna Dolcetto D’Alba DOC 2021 offers a rich aromatic bouquet of berries, accompanied by light spicy notes. In the mouth, it is fresh and vibrant, with pleasant acidity and silky tannins that give structure and balance to the wine. Its complexity and depth reflect the authenticity of the land from which it comes.
