Tasting Note
Roagna Barbaresco Pajè 2016 is hauntingly aromatic, pure, and firmly structured. Lifted notes of sour cherry, red currant, dried rose, and sweet spices mingle with hints of orange peel, anise, and crushed herbs. The palate is taut yet refined, showing precise red fruit, gripping but ultra-fine tannins, and a deep mineral core. Long, savoury, and profoundly detailed, it offers the elegance of Barbaresco with the tension and age-worthy architecture characteristic of Roagna’s traditional style.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Roagna is one of Piemonte’s most revered traditionalists, crafting Nebbiolo with long macerations, old vines, and extended neutral oak aging. The Pajè vineyard, located in the heart of Barbaresco, is famed for its limestone-rich soils and ability to produce wines of exceptional lift, perfume, and longevity. The 2016 vintage—considered one of the greatest Barbaresco years of the modern era—allowed Roagna to create a wine of extraordinary clarity and depth. Critics widely praised it: Vinous (96), Wine Advocate (95+), and other reviewers highlighting its purity, structure, and decades-long aging potential. The 2016 Pajè stands as a benchmark expression of classic Barbaresco and one of Roagna’s most compelling releases of the decade.
