Tasting Notes: The Roagna Derthona Timorasso Montemarzino offers a profound and layered sensory experience. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of ripe lemon, orange blossom, and a subtle undercurrent of savory herbs and honeyed almonds. The palate is full-bodied and textural, delivering flavors of white peach, crisp pear, and a distinct bitter grapefruit note that carries through a long, mineral-driven finish. The structure is built around a vibrant freshness that is beautifully integrated with its rich character, providing remarkable persistence and a saline quality that demands contemplation.
Estate History: The Roagna estate is a historic, family-owned winery deeply rooted in the Barbaresco region of Piedmont, with a lineage of winemaking spanning five generations. They are renowned for their traditional approach to viticulture and vinification, focusing on single-vineyard expressions and long aging periods in large, neutral oak botti. Currently run by Luca Roagna, the estate is dedicated to organic practices and preserving local biodiversity, meticulously crafting wines that express the unique character of their specific crus with minimal intervention.
