(912 views) | | | Tasted by kfinsrud on 1/29/2019 & rated 87 points: Dekantert. Blålilla farge. N: Kirsebær og mandelmasse. Fersk. M: godt bærpreg og forholdsvis fast struktur. Lang skallmaserasjon selv på Dolcetto setter Roagna-signaturen. Tørr avslutning og god lengde. Ypperlig til lasagnen. (1110 views) | | | Tasted by Outplaying on 10/11/2018: Three Dolcetti: While I like Dolcetto, I rarely find them to be exciting or complex. This one is pretty good and interesting to me. The wine smells nice but it is hard to describe. Light bodied and fresh, tangy darker toned fruits with light accents of fall spice and orange rind. A nice companion at the table. (1630 views) | | | Tasted by mwneil on 10/3/2018 & rated 86 points: Light, earthy, rustic, tannic, not much bouquet, low alcohol , sipping wine that needs food, needs a bit more fruit, drank with tuna with cous cous, might drink again as it has character. (1285 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 7/16/2018 & rated 89 points: First and foremost, you're missing out if not giving this a taste at cellar temp. The 2016 Roagna Dolcetto comes across as exactly what I would want and expect from a traditional Dolcetto, with a bouquet of crushed blackberries, wild herbs, violets, dried orange peel and hints of black earth and stone dust. On the palate, I found light, feminine textures with bright acids playing host to a mix of zesty black fruits and minerals. The finish was medium-long, as brisk acids pinched at the senses, leaving hints of tart blackberry and purple inner florals.
It's a great wine for warm weather sipping at cellar temp, but also fantastic with food.

(1101 views) | | | Tasted by epiphany on 1/7/2018 & rated 87 points: Just ok. Not enough fruit. (1113 views) | | | Tasted by kpeder on 12/14/2017 & rated 87 points: Cherries, herbs and flowers on the nose. Fruity and delicate in the mouth with noticeable tannins. Juicy and rich fruit. Medium acidity and good length. (1126 views) |

Giù il cappello di fronte a questo giovane produttore che non attua compromessi e va diritto per la sua strada , ecco un confortante esempio di giovani leve langarole.
La visita comincia dalla vigna (bonus) dove si pratica l'inerbimento e si cerca di mantenere il più possibile inalterato l' ecosistema vigna.
Le vigne sono piuttosto vecchie e ottenute da selezione massale.
La macerazione sulle bucce dura , a seconda delle annate , un centinaio di giorni e si usa la tecnica del cappello sommerso con steccatura.
Tecnica piuttosto "arcaica" ma a quanto pare piuttosto efficace.
Gli affinamenti in botti grandi e qualche barrique "scarica" è lunghissimo e alcuni vini escono anche dopo 10 anni. Dolcetto Varietal character (Appellation America)
Dolcetto, a northern Italian varietal from the Piedmont region, is a lighter bodied red. This wine is fruity and means 'little sweet one' in Italian. Some will opt to put a slight chill on it. Perfect with Mediterrean cuisine such as grilled meats and vegetables. Enjoy as a summertime delight. from (Woodward Canyon website)Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorPiedmont Vignaioli Piemontesi (Italian only)

Alba is a town and comune of Piedmont, Italy, in the province of Cuneo. It is considered the capital of the hilly area of Langhe, and is famous for the white truffle, peach and wine production. Piedmont is in the Northwestern region of Italy, bordering France and Switzerland. Piedmont is predominantly a plain where the water flows from the Swiss and French Alps to form the headwaters of the Po river. The major wine producing areas are in the southern portion of the region in the hills known as the "Langhe". Here the people speak a dialect that is 1/3 French and 2/3 Italian that portrays their historical roots. Their cuisine is one of the most creative and interesting in Italy. Nebbiolo is the King grape here, producing Barolo and Barbaresco. In addition, the Barbera and Dolcetto are the workhorse grapes that produce the largest quantity of wine. Piedmont is predominantly a red wine producing area. There are a few whites made in Piedmont, and the Moscato grape produces a large volume of sweet, semi-sweet and sparkling wines as well. |
