Roagna Dolcetto d'Alba 2025

Roagna Dolcetto d’Alba 2025 is a pure, traditionally made expression of Dolcetto from Piemonte, offering immediate freshness alongside a level of structure that sets it apart from many easy-drinking examples of the variety. Sourced from old vines and limestone soils, it combines approachable fruit with genuine aging potential while remaining wonderfully versatile at the table.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this still red wine shows a vivid ruby colour with youthful depth. The nose is fresh and fruit-driven, suggesting ripe red and dark berries, with subtle earthy and floral nuances. On the palate, it is lively and well balanced, with clear varietal fruit, refreshing acidity and fine, gently firm tannins. Its traditional extraction gives the wine added definition and length without obscuring Dolcetto’s natural character. Although enjoyable in its youth, the wine’s old-vine fruit, limestone-grown freshness and extended maturation provide an unusual capacity to develop. It should gain additional savoury complexity and softness with time in bottle, rewarding careful cellaring beyond its first years.

Production
The grapes come from Roagna’s own vineyards in Piemonte, where vines more than 50 years old grow in deep limestone soils. These conditions contribute freshness, pronounced fruit character and the structural backbone needed for maturation. Following a strictly traditional approach, the wine undergoes extended skin maceration, lasting up to 100 days and using a submerged-cap technique. It then matures for one year, alternating between wooden casks and cement tanks to harmonise the tannins while preserving Dolcetto’s varietal purity.

Food & Serving
Its fresh fruit, lively acidity and supple tannins make Roagna Dolcetto d’Alba an excellent match for everyday Piemontese cooking, including pasta with tomato or meat sauces, pizza, salumi, grilled sausages, roasted poultry and mushroom dishes. Serve slightly cool, at around 14–16°C, to highlight its freshness. Decanting for approximately one hour is recommended, particularly when serving the wine young, as it allows its aromatic detail and layered structure to emerge more fully.
