Montefico is Roagna's smallest and most elusive vineyard—a tiny parcel acquired in 1929, now planted with vines over 50 years old. Located in northwest Barbaresco with marl-rich soil, the vineyard yields a refined Barbaresco of wild berry, leather, and menthol. The VV designation signals grapes from the oldest vines in this intimate parcel, a wine of striking personality and minerality. Montefico has been labeled Vecchie Viti since 2007, a testament to Roagna's belief that vine age and site distinction create transcendent Barbaresco.

"The 2020 Barbaresco Montefico Vecchie Viti is one of the most reticent wines in this range. Then again, we are talking about Montefico. Strong savory and mineral notes take center stage. Mint, sweet pipe tobacco and sage open first, while fruit remains in the background. Driving yet fine-grained tannins shape the mid-palate and finish. This is such a striking wine. Classic Montefico all way. Chalk, dried herbs, dried flowers and a hint of earthiness build into the delineated, saline-drenched finish. Superb." —Antonio Galloni

"Showing serious structure and intensity, the 2020 Barbaresco Montefichi VV delivers aromas and flavors of new leather, underbrush, wild strawberry, star anise and tobacco before closing on bitter orange and a savory hint of truffle. Firm tannins provide the backbone while tangy acidity keeps it bright. Drink 2030–2040." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Roagna

Luca Roagna is the fifth generation in a family that's been making wine in Barbaresco since the 1850s. His Dolcetto comes from vines over 45 years old, fermented with real patience and aged in neutral oak. This is the kind of wine that makes you wonder why everyone doesn't make Dolcetto this seriously.
