Tasting notes
The 2006 Barolo Vigna Rionda is somewhat shut down and imposing at this stage, perhaps as a result of its recent bottling. With time in the glass, the wine's inner sweetness gradually emerges, providing a hint of what will develop over the next few years. This is a hugely promising Barolo from Roagna.

About the producer
Roagna is one of Italy’s finest estates, producing top, single-vineyard Nebbiolos in Barbaresco and Barolo. The estate’s Crichët Pajé Barbaresco is one of the rarest fine wine cuvées in Piedmont with fewer than 2,000 bottles produced each year.
