For years now, Roagna has been the benchmark producer in Barbaresco and one of the most exciting estates in all of Piedmont.
This duo of Roagna's Vecchie Viti double-magnums are old vine selections and represents some of the greatest that Piedmont has to offer.

I'm happy to offer these extraordinary wines in rare three-liter format. To underscore the rarity, I should mention that these are the only three-liters of Asili or Pajè VV in the country.
Barbaresco turned out gorgeous wines in 2014. The vintage comes close to delivering everything that we want - verve, clarity, and beautiful terroir imprints. Galloni's summary captures the vintage nicely: "Vibrant, perfumed and beautifully delineated, the 2014s capture the essence of what makes Nebbiolo so compelling."
I first tasted Roagna's 2014 during a visit to the estate in the fall of 2019. I was blown away. The 2014 Barolos were excellent, but the Barbarescos were incredible. As time passed, I've only grown more impressed with the wines.
The Asili Cru is famous for producing wines of extraordinary refinement, class, and elegance. The 2014 Asili VV has a shocking amount of precision and harmony with beautifully delineated aromatics of fruit, flower, and earth. The expression is pristine, and every component seems perfectly placed and proportioned.
It's difficult to think of Roagna and not think of the Pajé vineyard. Pajé often seems like the beating heart of the estate. The 2014 Pajè VV is defined by grace and delicacy. The wine has an amazing, subtle complexity and impression of effortlessness.
These are absolutely dazzling wines. I'm happy to have the opportunity to offer them in three-liters.
