Grappa di Barbaresco 700ml

Wine Description for Grappa di Barbaresco 700ml by Roagna

Colour & Appearance

Crystal clear and brilliant in the glass, with the characteristic transparency of a carefully distilled pomace brandy. The viscosity reveals itself in slowly flowing tears on the glass wall – a sign of body and the considerable 45% alcohol content.

Nose

Intense, yet never aggressive aromatics. Nebbiolo pomace in its purest form: dried rose petals, violets and cherry stones dominate, accompanied by hints of white pepper, anise and a fine tobacco note. With a little air, nuances of hazelnut and bitter almond develop.

Palate

Powerful yet remarkably elegant. The 45% alcohol is perfectly integrated, doesn’t burn but warms from within. Cherry stone, herbal spice and a fine tannic note reminiscent of the great Nebbiolo wines. Despite its intensity, the grappa remains surprisingly delicate and bears the hallmark of a house that values tradition and patience over quick profit.

Finish

Long, warm and spicy. The floral notes return, accompanied by a hint of dark chocolate and cloves. A grappa that lingers and invites contemplation – much like the great Barbarescos from this house.

Terroir & Origin

Distilled from the Nebbiolo pomace of the estate’s own Barbaresco vineyards at Azienda I Paglieri. The Roagna family has managed their vineyard sites in the heart of Barbaresco for generations according to sustainable principles. What begins in the vineyard continues in the distillery.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Produced exclusively from Nebbiolo pomace, that noble grape variety of Piedmont. Distillation is carried out traditionally and carefully to preserve the delicate aromas. Luca Roagna and his father Alfredo give their grappa the time it needs – no rush, no compromises.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The ideal digestif after an opulent meal. Excellent with dark chocolate of high cocoa content, panna cotta or aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Also wonderful enjoyed neat, in quiet contemplation – a meditative drink.

Special Characteristics

A grappa that perfectly embodies the philosophy of the Roagna house: tradition, patience and uncompromising quality. No barrique, no shortcuts – only honest craftsmanship from the heart of Barbaresco.
