I Paglieri - Roagna was founded in 1929 when Giovanni Roagna bought land that is now the estate’s Montefico vineyard. Though the parcel purchased was only a half-acre, it was enough for the family to establish themselves within the Barbaresco winemaking community, and they made prestigious wines. Today the estate includes 37 acres of vineyards in five historic locations and Giovanni’s son and grandsons run the estate, which is farmed organically. I Paglieri – Roagna is known for Barolo and Barbaresco, but also produces Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera, Langhe Rosso and Bianco, and several other wines. Gambero Rosso calls the estate’s wines “a faithful interpretation of prestigious crus…Above all, we find a production philosophy that is traditional in the best possible sense of the term.”
