2020 Roagna Langhe Rosso Piedmont, Italy
$60.00
You can debate practically anything in wine. But, there is one thing we feel confident saying: Luca Roagna produces the best wine for the money in Piedmont.
His Barbarescos are arguably the best in the appellation. But, they’re pricey wines starting at $160/btl (on up). It’s his deceptively named ‘Langhe Rosso’ that should be on any Nebbiolo lovers' radar. Why? Because it's cut from the exact same cloth as his top wines. It’s 100% Nebbiolo from two vineyards you also see in their own bottling (Paje in Barolo, Pira in Barbaresco). It’s fermented and aged exactly like the Barolo and Barbaresco (the exception being Crichet Paje) He uses capo submerso (ie a floating cap) during fermentation and then moves the wine to old barrels where it ages for five years. It's a long, patient process. 2018 is now just being released.
The final wine, like his Barbarescos, is gorgeous. Spiced, red fruited, powerful on the palate while still being widely aromatic. It’s of those dizzying bottles that showcases why nebbiolo is one of the world's great grapes.
