Roagna, Barolo Vigna Rionda, 2003
A rare crossing of two Piedmont legends: Roagna — the cult Barbaresco-focused traditionalist — making Barolo, from Vigna Rionda, the most coveted cru of Serralunga d'Alba. This was the very first vintage of the project: in 2003 Luca Roagna began buying grapes from an old contadino farming a parcel of white-limestone marl planted to ancient vines in Vigna Rionda, a collaboration that ran only through 2006 (around 8,000 bottles per vintage). The 2003 was the famously hot summer, but Roagna's long, late ripening and traditional approach produced a wine of remarkable lift for the year. At 22 years on, it's now in full drinking window — savory, structured, distinctly Serralunga, distinctly Roagna.
