Roagna Dolcetto D'Alba 2024 DOC 0.75l

Roagna Dolcetto D'Alba 2024 DOC 0.75l is a wine that presents itself as a clear interpretation of the Piedmontese Langhe: a Dolcetto d'Alba DOC capable of expressing the aromas and flavors of a distinct land, where the vineyards grow on calcareous and clayey soils and where time in the cellar works to restore freshness and depth to the fruit. The story of the Roagna producer is that of a family rooted in the territory: an artisan business that, from the Alba countryside, has built an identity over the generations based on care, patience, and respect for the raw material, cultivating a tradition that prioritizes the quality expressed by the vineyard and the hand of the winemaker as a precision instrument. The production philosophy is based on the idea that the beauty of wine comes from attention to the vineyard, from selective harvesting, and from spontaneous fermentations that listen to the indigenous yeasts, entrusting the aging in large barrels to the delicacy of the fruit without obscuring its purity. It is a management style that avoids invasive technologies and favors a slow evolution, capable of adding complexity without forcing it. Compared to other wines from the area, Roagna Dolcetto D'Alba 2024 stands out for its balance between immediate fruitiness and restrained maturity, for its present yet smooth tannic structure, and for a punch of acidity that sustains the drink from start to finish. In the glass, it displays a brilliant ruby ​​hue, with aromas of cherry and black cherry, floral notes of violet, and a subtle minerality reminiscent of the soil; on the palate, it is lively, juicy, and smooth, with a long finish that leaves traces of bitter cocoa and delicate spices. Within the Roagna range, this Dolcetto d'Alba DOC serves as an accessible yet authoritative entry, offering the public a gateway to the house's commitment and rigor without sacrificing everyday enjoyment. It is an ideal choice for savory appetizers, pasta dishes with sauce, or light meats, capable of accompanying Piedmontese cuisine with restrained elegance. It is a presence that embodies STELT's values: authenticity, local tradition, and understated style, capable of accompanying time at the table with discretion and substance.
