Luca Roagna and his family have been making some of the greatest wines in Piemonte for generations, and the quality just keeps rising. Anyone will be able to respect and admire the work of Luca Roagna: no step taken in the vineyard or the winery is without complete follow-through of thought.

Standing in the middle of one of their vineyards, you almost forget it's a place to grow grapes. Grass, insects and wildlife flourish throughout the vines, which are never subjected to chemical sprays, mowing or tilling. The biosphere is diverse and vigorous, the soils healthy: the result is impeccably grown grapes ready to become impeccably made wine.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"The Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti 2019 is great, but it will also need time to show its best side. It offers a captivating blend of the inner perfume of Asili and the youthful austerity that is so typical of the vintage. Cherry, cinnamon, sweet spices, mint, cedar and pipe tobacco open up with some coaxing. Patience will be absolutely crucial here. What a great wine." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 98
"This is an incredibly elegant expression of Nebbiolo derived from a 0.22-hectare plot that was purchased in 1961. There is a crazy story behind the acquisition involving Luca's grandfather and the previous owner who apparently was especially unlucky at cards. The Roagna 2019 Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti is especially polished and fine with an almost glossy texture. This lucky vineyard is covered with a unique permaculture, including wild grasses. Luca Roagna does not till the land and he leaves that green regenerative cover crop untouched. The wine is lean and light in appearance, but again in typical Roagna fashion, the delicate look of the wine comes in contrast to the complexity, depth and power on offer." -Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

WS 98
"Supple and elegant, this red wine is also spicy, its white pepper combining with the lively backbone of acidity to define flavours of cherry, strawberry, redcurrant, rosehip and mint. A mineral element emerges on the finish, along with dense, refined tannins."
