The 2015 Roagna Barbaresco Faset hails from a warm, stable growing season in Piedmont, allowing the Nebbiolo grapes to achieve full ripeness and develop both structure and fragrance. Roagna, a fifth-generation family estate, is celebrated for its traditionalist approach, employing artisanal methods like hand-harvesting, strict sorting, and extended aging in large botti, resulting in wines of exceptional finesse. The Faset vineyard is an esteemed subzone within the Barbaresco appellation. This wine is a 【 quintessential expression of Nebbiolo from a respected traditionalist producer with excellent cellaring potential 】. In the glass, expect a translucent ruby color with a captivating bouquet of dried rose petals, red cherry, wild strawberry, truffle, and hints of liquorice. The palate is layered and persistent, braced by firm yet refined tannins and lively acidity, offering notes of red berries, roses, and earth. Reviewers note a pure and pristine palate, with accessible tannins even in its youth, and a long finish with a touch of grip. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This Barbaresco shines with Piedmontese classics such as tajarin pasta with white truffle, brasato al Barbaresco (beef braised in Barbaresco), or mature cheeses like Castelmagno. It also pairs beautifully with wild mushroom risotto, game birds, cured charcuterie, beef, lamb, or pasta dishes. 🥂 Event suggestions: While offering immediate pleasure, this wine also boasts excellent cellaring potential and can be enjoyed after a few years of aging. It's an outstanding choice for a special dinner, particularly with rich Italian or game dishes, and is currently drinking well, with a peak expected in 2-5 more years.
