The Roagna family has been at winemaking for more than 150 years through 5 generations.  They are located in one of the most historic wine towns in all of Italy, Barbaresco.  Here the king grape, like in the not so far away town of Barolo, is nebbiolo, a native to these parts.  The family has a very strong sense of tradition and only creates wines in this way, the old way.  When Alfredo Roagna finished his enology studies he began to give the maximum interest to the native land and grape varietals as well as realize a family dream, to own a piece of land in the mighty town of Barolo. Today young Luca Roagna, just 29 years old or so, has taken the reigns with the constant objective to listen to the land and craft traditional wines.  While the estate’s real job is to make exceptional Barbaresco and Barolo, they do have a couple of young, fresh wines that can be consumed on a daily basis, like this dolcetto.  Vinified in a huge barrel and then left to rest in stainless steel, this is a perfect wine for everyday eating and drinking.  Perfect with grilled vegetables or light pasta dishes.
