A complex Barbaresco by two prestigious domains: Faset and Roagna. More info

Fans of Barbaresco will tell you; domain Roagna is one of the Piedmont region’s most loyal ambassadors. Now led by the fifth generation, represented by Luca Roagna, wines with exceptional finesse and freshness are crafted thanks to methods that put the nobility of the Nebbiolo grape at the forefront. Faset is the fruit of a collaboration between Roagna and the historical Faset domain found at the heart of the same appellation. In the glass we discover a pure Nebbiolo with a deep colour, complex notes of dried flowers, red fruits, and gentle spices. Concentrated and structured by a good tannic base, the cuvée is lifted by a lovely acidity. This is a wine that can be enjoyed after a few years of ageing with a characterful dish.

Barbaresco DOCG Faset Roagna serve at a temperature of 15°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Magret de canard au Porto, Pain de viande, Poulet de Bresse aux truffes.

Information about domain Roagna

The Roagna family owns a historic domaine in the village of Barbaresco in the Piedmont. It began producing dry wines circa 1880, when the region was the area of choice for northern Italian sweet wine makers. The domaine was extended in 1989, and now also produces Barbarescos and Barolos. Luca, who has a diploma in oenology, made his first vintage in 2001. He is keen on long, gentle extractions which he believes are appropriate for the Nebbiolo grape variety. Sulphur is used sparingly at less than 35 mg/l, and the domaine is run along organic lines, even though it is not formally certified.
