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 2019 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti is a heady, explosive wine. Bright, focused and energetic, the 2019 screams with Montefico character. Crushed rocks, slate, mint, white pepper, dried cherry and chalk are some of the many notes that inform this taut, vibrant Barbaresco. Clean mineral notes extend the finish effortlessly. The Montefico is often one of my favorites in the range. The 2019 is truly special. What a wine!" -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 97
"The 2019 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti comes from a parcel that was given as a dowry gift in 1929, thus changing hands to the Roagna family. It measures 0.24 hectares and production remains very limited at 1,222 bottles. Montefico tends to be more aromatic compared to Asili, and it reveals many layers of complexity that change rapidly and with fluidity. It starts off with a floral signature of roses and violets and then cedes to redcurrant and spicy licorice. The quality of the firm tannins in 2019 is terrific, and the acidity is spot on. There are elegant chalky sensations to close on this cellar-worthy Nebbiolo."

Wine Spectator

WS 96
"There's plenty of flesh embracing the macerated cherry, strawberry, anise, iron and alpine herb aromas and flavors. Firm, bordering on austere even, yet balanced and super long, with an aftertaste of fruit and mineral. Alluring from the get-go, this is accessible despite its firm structure."
