It is an aromatized version of the famous Barolo, made more intense and enveloping thanks to the addition of natural infusions. Its alcohol content, higher than that of classic red wines (around 16-17%), places it in the family of fortified wines, similar in structure and spirit to Marsala or Port, but with a decidedly more elegant and territorial character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Chinato Riserva - Roagna\u003c\/strong\u003e originates from a base of \u003cem\u003eBarolo Pira\u003c\/em\u003e, produced with hand-picked grapes from historic vineyards in Castiglione Falletto. Each vintage reflects the climatic trend and the balance of the base wine, which is then transformed into an elixir with an unmistakable aromatic character. Production is deliberately limited to maintain the quality and authenticity of the family tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production process of Barolo Chinato Riserva - Roagna follows an ancient method handed down for generations.

Once fortification is complete, the wine rests for several more months in oak barrels, further refining its complexity before bottling. The result is a well-balanced fortified wine, where power and smoothness coexist in perfect harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Chinato Riserva - Roagna\u003c\/strong\u003e is a meditation wine, capable of offering a rich and surprising sensory experience, perfect for those who wish to discover a different side of Barolo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt presents a \u003cstrong\u003edeep amber color with garnet reflections\u003c\/strong\u003e, a sign of its long aging and the structured Barolo base.
