The grapes for the Solea cuvée come from the historic village of Castiglione Falletto in the heart of Pira. Facing southeast, the 30-year-old Chardonnay vines grow in the sunshine before their grapes are blended with the smallest amount of Nebbiolo after they have been intensely sorted to make sure only the best grapes go into the bottle.
Fermentation, which only occurs thanks to natural yeasts, takes places over roughly ten days before the wine is then aged in oak barrels for two years.

Langhe DOC Solea Roagna serve at a temperature of 12°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Risotto à la truffe blanche d’Alba, Ragout d’agneau, Beaufort.

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.
