Tasting Notes: Grown on calcareous clay soils, the Roagna Barbaresco Gallina 2020 displays a ruby color with slight garnet tinges at the edges. The bouquet is complex, revealing notes of cinnamon, cloves, menthol, lavender, and Sichuan pepper, with undertones of ripe berries, dried leaves, and crushed herbs. The palate is full-bodied, with a supple, elegant texture and refined tannins that enhance the long, pure, and savory finish, which includes mineral notes and hints of cedar..
Estate Notes: With a family history that dates back to the very beginning of Barbaresco in 1860, Roagna is synonymous with quality and finesse. They began making Barolo in 1990, updating the winery to Castiglione Falletto in 2010. They focus on harvesting each vineyard when it reaches perfect physiological maturity and harvest by hand.
