The Roagna family have been dealing with viticulture and winery for over a century and a half, when the style of traditional winemaking was implemented. Great–grandfather Vincenzo owned the historic winery in the center of the small village of Barbaresco and, after harvesting the grapes in the early mists or “nebbie” (hence the name “Nebbiolo”), made wine in wood casks, and so is made today. Years later, Giovanni Roagna and Maria Candida moved the company to the farmhouse I Paglieri (Paj), seeing in that hill one of the maximum expressions of the territory.
