Left Piedmont

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 bio-sphere is diverse and vigorous, the soils healthy: the result is impeccably grown grapes ready to become impeccably made wine.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"The 2017 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti is totally beguiling. Of the 2017 Barbarescos, the Montefico is the wine that is most similar to its usual self. The marriage of Montefico austerity with textural breadth makes for an absolutely compelling Barbaresco that delivers on so many levels. Sweet red-toned fruit, spice, chalk, mint and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that build into the intense, palate staining finish. Superb." -Vinous
