Rosso Langhe DOC 2019

Roagna | Piedmont
Az. Agr. I Paglieri | Loc. Paglieri 9 | IT 12050 Barbaresco

Beautiful Langhe Nebbiolo from Roagna's top Barbaresco vineyards Pajé and Pira, which gives a good impression of the winery's remarkable style. Although from vines that are only around 25 years old, it is a striking wine, very old Piedmontese school - with crisp flavours of cherry, tobacco and leather, firm tannins and powerful acidity - and an inspiring round finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Delicate rust-red colour with orange accents. Chalky, clear and precise on the nose. Wild berries, forest floor and pine needles reveal dark, ethereal attributes. Then black pepper, cinnamon and juniper. Plum and a little sloe add dark fruit flavours. On the palate, the fine-grained but present tannins are surprising at first. The acidity kicks in immediately and puts a lot of pressure on the palate, accompanied by a slight spiciness. It is linear, cool and taut with a lot of drinking flow. The fruit appears much lighter than initially expected. The spiciness comes out again and again, with forest mushrooms and truffles subtly coming to the fore in the finish. Nebbiolo is the Pinot Noir of Italy and this can be recognised very well here." Marian Henß (Sommelier)

"The 2019 Langhe Rosso is fabulous. It captures all the pedigree of this great vintage, but in a slightly more open style (especially in its aromatics) that makes it quite approachable. Crushed flowers, dried cherries, spice, mint and sweet pipe tobacco are all beautifully highlighted. The 2019 is already quite approachable and can be drunk immediately. It is Piras Nebbiolo from young vines. Around two thirds of the fruit comes from Pira, the rest from Albesani, Gallina and Paje." Vinous
