2020 Barbaresco Pajé, Roagna Wine Republic - Wine Merchant

2020 Barbaresco Pajé, Roagna

Piedmont, Italy

The Soul of Barbaresco

From one of Barbaresco’s most historic vineyards, this is Nebbiolo in its most refined and expressive form. The nose rises with wild strawberry, red cherry and dried rose, layered with orange peel, crushed herbs and delicate spice. On the palate, it is beautifully poised, vibrant red fruit wrapped in fine, chalky tannins and lifted by bright acidity. Subtle notes of tea leaf, anise and mineral tension build through the finish, which lingers long with elegance and quiet power.

For when: Barbaresco deserves your full attention.
Pairs with: tajarin with truffle, braised veal or aged Parmigiano.
If this wine were a place: morning light over the vineyards of Barbaresco.

Pajé is Roagna’s historic home vineyard in the village of Barbaresco, a south-facing amphitheatre of limestone and marl soils that produces Nebbiolo of remarkable perfume and finesse. Roagna farms the site organically and vinifies the wine in a traditional style with native yeasts, very long macerations and ageing in large neutral oak casks. The result is Barbaresco with extraordinary clarity of fruit, structure and ageing potential.

Roagna is one of Piedmont’s most revered traditional estates, with a history in Barbaresco stretching back to the mid-19th century. The modern estate began to take shape in the late 1800s when the Roagna family started bottling their own wines in the village of Barbaresco, helping establish the identity of Barbaresco as a great Nebbiolo wine alongside Barolo.

Today the winery is run by Luca Roagna, the fifth generation of the family, who continues the estate’s uncompromising commitment to traditional winemaking. The family farms around 15 hectares of historic vineyards across Barbaresco and Barolo, including prized crus such as Pajé, Asili, Montefico and the monopole Pira in Castiglione Falletto. These sites produce some of the most precise and age-worthy Nebbiolo in Piedmont.

Roagna’s philosophy is deeply rooted in tradition. The vineyards are farmed organically with minimal intervention, and the wines undergo extremely long macerations, sometimes up to 90 days, followed by extended ageing in large neutral oak casks. The result is wines of extraordinary depth, purity and longevity, combining powerful structure with remarkable aromatic finesse. Today Roagna sits firmly among the elite producers of Piedmont, crafting wines that are both profoundly classical and unmistakably expressive of their historic Langhe terroir.
