Dried cherry, crushed flowers, cedar, mint and pipe tobacco open with a bit of coaxing. This ethereal, haunting Barbaresco has to much to offer. It will be interesting to see if it gains weight with time in bottle. Today, it is very much on the delicate, aromatic side of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a magnificent set of new releases from Luca Roagna. The wines are perhaps a touch more open than they can be in more austere years, and yet they offer tons of classicism. Roagna gave the 2020 Barbarescos and Barolos a whopping 60 days on the skins, with spontaneous primary and secondary fermentations. The wines were aged for about 2.5 years in cask and then cement. Because of some practical considerations, the 2020s were bottled about a month later than normal. The Roagna Barolos and Barbarescos can seem a bit ethereal in the early going, but they often fill out with time in bottle. The wines also respond quite well to air, so I would not be afraid to open them in advance. Lastly, there is no new release of the flagship Barbaresco Crichët Pajé this year, as Roagna did not bottle the 2017.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44161585512582,"sku":"HAW-Roagna-Barbaresco-Albesani","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/RoagnaAlbesaniBarb.png?v=1784049223","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/roagna-barbaresco-albesani-2020","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
