Here, the soils rich in calcareous marls and yellow-reddish sandy veins contribute to defining a refined and precise expression, with a balance between structure and finesse. The Roagna parcel is very small and situated in the central part of the hill, an element that helps concentrate the character of the wine. The \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a minimum age of over fifty years, enhance the depth of the fruit and the complexity of the sip, while maintaining a tense and territorial imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, this \u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a classic and authoritative profile, typical of a great \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e wine. The color tends towards bright garnet shades, with evolution consistent with the vintage and aging. On the nose, sensations reminiscent of small red fruits, fine spices, floral notes, and hints of balsamic and earthy elements emerge, in an elegant and layered ensemble.

The whole is as severe as it is harmonious, suitable for those who appreciate wines of character and great definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarbaresco Asili Vecchie Viti 2011 DOCG Roagna\u003c\/strong\u003e naturally accompanies rich and flavorful dishes from the Piedmontese tradition, such as braised meats, important roasts, tajarin with meat ragù, game, and aged cheeses.
