Memo Summary Notes 

The 2020 Roagna Barbaresco Pajé is a legendary release from one of the most artisanal and traditionalist producers in the Langhe. Luca Roagna is known for "monastic" patience, often aging his wines for five years or more before they ever leave the cellar.

The 2020 vintage for Roagna is characterized by a "velvet glove" elegance—it is more approachable in its youth than the structured 2019s, showing silkier tannins while maintaining the estate's signature power.
