Never tasted this bottling before, I just hoped for a decent showing. Instead, it completely reshaped my view of Barbera.

Deep opaque garnet with a slight tawny rim. The nose is captivating with blackberry jam, fig, cedar, dry pine cone, worn leather, clove, and a hint of truffle. Seamless palate - full body with vibrant
acidity, supple tannins that still have firm grip, and a velvety texture. Long, elegant finish. Still has 5–8 graceful years ahead. By far the best Barbera I’ve tasted.

Licorice, tiny hint of Jolly Rancher watermelon, oak paneled steakhouses, cigar smoke filled libraries, wood burning stoves. Having with steak and potatoes. One of my favs. — 10 months ago

Notes of green pear and crisp green apple. A bit thin, so won't hold up to heavy food, but okay by itself. — 2 years ago

Beautiful expression of Nebbiolo showing complex notes of red cherry, sweet & savory spice, balsamic, rose petal, dried herbs & tar. — 7 months ago

More muscular than the Gallina (rightfully so!), but in no way lacking finesse. Concentrated with assertive tannins, yet so lithe and pure. On the nose, roses, incense, cherries, strawberries, eucalyptus, juniper, leather, and a touch of tar. With air, the fruits came to the forefront, popping out with such clarity. On the palate, the young Barolo tannins did seem to dominate, but under it was a really fine red fruit character that gave it such a lovely drinkability. Some minerality in the lengthy finish, though not quite as palpable as on the Gallina. WOTN for all on the table. Compared to the Gallina, I can’t quite say one was better than the other - just different Roagna interpretations of Nebbiolo. — a year ago

This has more edge than the Gallina, but kept opening up so beautifully. Started leather and herbaceous, finished ripe fruits and vanilla — 2 years ago
