Staff Pick Notes

The Langhe DOC has a great reputation for its innovative viticulture, international varieties, and high-quality wines. Roagna is a family-owned Piemontese producer in Barbaresco that’s been making wine since before its official classification in 1890. This wine is mostly Chardonnay with a small part of Nebbiolo fermented off the skins. It has a bright off-gold color and warm-vintage aromas of ripe peach, cantaloupe melon, and preserved lemon. Sweet aromas of candied almond and butterscotch. A midweight wine with extra tannic grip and power. Enjoy it with fatty fish. The fruit undergoes a long wild yeast fermentation with a submerged cap. Wines are aged in large oak casks to minimize wood flavors and then bottled without fining or filtration.

It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
