The Roagna Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti 2017 is a special wine crafted from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from the Asili vineyard in the Barbaresco appellation. ‘Vecchie Viti’ means ‘old vines’ in Italian, indicating that the grapes come from older vines, which usually results in wines with more concentration, depth, and complexity. The 2017 vintage in Piedmont was characterized by a warm growing season, which led to an earlier harvest for many producers, including Roagna. Despite the heat, Roagna`s focus on organic viticulture and careful winemaking practices allowed them to create a wine with balance, structure and elegance.

- The 2017 Barbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti is quite closed and austere, almost shockingly so. It will be interesting to see if more Asili sensuality emerges over time. For now, the 2017 is very obviously on the severe side, with good energy, but less through the mid-palate. Sweet dried cherry, mint, chalk and dried herbs linger.
