Roagna Solea 2019

Where it comes from

The Roagnas are winemakers from Barbaresco. They have owned the Pira vineyard in Castiglione Falletto since 1989, but the family had been buying its grapes since the 1950s.

Solea is built on Chardonnay and labelled Langhe Bianco. A white from a producer whose name belongs to Nebbiolo is a rare bottle to open in Prague.

How we serve it

We pour it at 12 to 14 °C into a larger white wine glass. Too cold, it would hide both its aromas and its body.

We open the bottle a little ahead of time so the wine can open up in the glass. It is meant to be drunk slowly, ideally with food.

What we pour it with

It has enough body for fish and poultry. From our menu we recommend it with sea bass with celery risotto and saffron, linguine with chanterelles and thyme, grilled king oyster mushroom with pumpkin purée or grilled octopus.

It also works with beef tenderloin if you do not want a red with your meat. With aged rib steaks we will suggest a red from the list.
