Quite simply, our family has always worked in the vineyards.

Today Alfredo and Luca Roagna, father and son, work everyday to care for each vine. Each vine is treated as an individual who year after year evolves to express the unique characteristics of our terroir.

We work tirelessly taking care of every single stage of the process from the vineyard to the bottle.

In the cellar after all the work we have done with selection and crushing, we also personally bottle and label the wine and prepare each box for shipping to our clients around the world. Each and every bottle of wine is handled at least six times before leaving our winery by Alfredo or Luca.
We do not have have any other winemakers or agricultural specialists who work with us as we try only to interpret each vineyard with our generations of family experience.

Fermentation takes place exclusively in large wood casks thanks to a pied de cuve created from our indigenous yeasts. This lasts for ten days and then we use the ancient technique of maceration by splinting the submerged cap process which lasts for at least two and a half months, (70-90 days). The wine is then aged in a neutral oak barrel for approximately 5 years.

The production of bottles is extremely limited, often only about one thousand bottles per vintage.

…winemakers say…

“Bright ruby red with purple reflections. In the nose first cherry, then herbal spice, mint and essential oils. Noble wood species such as cedar and sandalwood mix with traces of pipe tobacco, smoky tones and damp, autumnal forest soil. On the palate again cherry, an opulent potpourri of wilted leaves, damp soil, truffles, in addition a fine note of old leather. An immensely complex wine from a famous single vineyard site, which will be enjoyed for many decades to come. “
