Score 89/100 · Drink 2023-2029, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2022
The 2019 Solea is bright and taut, certainly moreso than previous years. Luca Roagna's drive towards making age-worthy whites has yielded an unusually closed Solea. Readers should plan on cellaring the 2019 for at least a year or two, which may be the very first time I have ever advised cellaring a Piedmont white! Almond, dried flowers, mint and lemon confit linger.

About the producer
Roagna
Roagna is one of Italy’s finest estates, producing top, single-vineyard Nebbiolos in Barbaresco and Barolo. The estate’s Crichët Pajé Barbaresco is one of the rarest fine wine cuvées in Piedmont with fewer than 2,000 bottles produced each year.
