Roagna Barbaresco Albesani 2020 750ml

One of the most historic vineyard in Neive made famous in the past by Giacosa's Santo Stefano bottling. Albesani rich limestone soils impart great structure to the wines here and some of the most long lived Barbaresco. Fermentation lasts ten days in large wood casks. They ferment with a pied de cuvee made from their indigenous yeasts. They then use the technique of submerged cap ("cappello sommerso") -- which can last 60-70 days.

Violet perfumed berry camphor and sun-warmed hay are just some of the aromas you’ll find on the impressive 2020 Barbaresco Albesani from Roagna. Delicious and elegantly structured the palate delivers succulent raspberry ripe Marasca cherry cake spice and blood orange before a star anise finish. Smooth tannins give it a velvety texture. A gorgeous wine. Drink through 2038.
