Roagna, Barolo di Barolo, 2020

'Barolo di Barolo' comes from vineyards in the commune of Barolo itself—the village that gave the wine its name. This bottling blends multiple parcels from the commune's legendary clay-limestone soils, which produce Barolo's most elegant, perfumed expressions. Roagna's traditional methods—large Slavonian oak, long maceration, minimal intervention—allow the terroir to shine. The 2020 shows rose petal, cherry, licorice, and ethereal tannins. While more approachable than the single-cru bottlings, this still benefits from cellaring until 2028-2030. A gateway to understanding why Barolo captivates collectors worldwide.
