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

"The 2016 Barbaresco Crichรซt Pajรฉ 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

Robert Parker

"Back in 1958, Luca's grandfather decided that this parcel would be fermented separately. The family's holdings in Pajรฉ measure two hectares over the slope of a hill, but the Crichรซt Pajรฉ selection comes from a half hectare with more limestone at the top part. The fruit always shows an initially firm or clinched character that bodes well for the wine's aging potential. It was historically set apart as a "Riserva di Famiglia" and represents 20 years of hard work and a special focus by Luca's grandfather. He affectionately called it "la piccolo collina di Pajรฉ," or "the little Pajรฉ hill." Nebbiolo from that little plot reveals an enormous capacity to maintain brightness and freshness. The wines made here remain vibrant and alive for many, many years. Alfredo Roagna created the first commercial vintage in 1978." -Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

WS 99
"The aromas are subdued, yet the flavors come alive, with steeped plum, cherry, coffee, tar, licorice and sweet spice notes. This washes across the palate like cashmere, leaving a refreshing aftertaste that lasts for minutes. Impressive. Like Escenzia to Tokaji, this is stripped down to the essence of the grape and its soil and geology."
