Opera Prima

By Roagna, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy

Roagna Opera Prima

First made at the end of the 1970s by Alfredo Roagna, Opera Prima blends two to four different Nebbiolo vintages into one wine and carries a Roman numeral for its edition, starting with Opera Prima III.

Tasting notes

Opera Prima, a blend of Nebbiolo vintages, reveals a deep garnet hue, offering a profound bouquet of dried roses, tar, and forest floor. The palate is powerful and complex, with layers of red fruit, spice, and a remarkably long, evolving finish.
