2016 Roagna Barbaresco Crichet Pajé
"The 2016 Barbaresco Crichët Pajé is hauntingly beautiful. Light on its feet and deceptive in its medium-bodied feel, the 2016 is a mere infant. Scents of macerated red cherry, blood orange, leather, sweet spice and pipe tobacco open gradually. The 2016 is a stunning, riveting Barbaresco in every way, not to mention a highlight in a range full of compelling wines. All it needs is time in bottle to shed some tannin. The long, dynamic finish is breathtaking."
- Antonio Galloni of Vinous (2024)
Roagna takes pride in producing wines in a regeneratively and with a zero-impact winery. Since 1953 they have been exploring the expression of single parcels in Barbaresco and Barolo. Their wines are old-school, built to last, and reward the patient cellarer.
