Roagna's Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti, from old vines, is a profound and structured Nebbiolo. It offers intense aromatics of dark cherry, rose petal, licorice, and mineral notes, with firm tannins and a long finish. It's an excellent match for richer Asian dishes like slow-cooked beef rendang, braised lamb with star anise, or even a robust hot pot with game meats.
