96 points Kerin O'Keefe: "From a plot that’s contiguous with the celebrated Santo Stefano vineyard site, the Roagna 2017 Albesani is excellent. The nose alone is fantastic, boasting camphor, botanical herb, dark spice, hay and wild berry. It’s full-bodied, linear and delicious, with ripe cranberry, blood orange, botanical herb and star anise accompanied by firm, fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced and energized. Drink 2025–2037. (Aug 2023)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "This red features excellent balance and complexity, with a supple and delicate texture despite a solid matrix of tannins underneath. Reveals macerated cherry, plum and floral notes accented by licorice and mineral on the long, resonant finish. Best from 2025 through 2042. 256 cases made. (4/30/23)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2017 Barbaresco Albesani is delicate and ethereal. Crushed flowers, sweet dried cherry, cinnamon and orange zest give this deceptively light-bodied Barbaresco a good deal of both nuance and complexity. All the elements are so nicely balanced. All things considered, the 2017 is an understated wine from this Neive site. Drink: 2024-2037. (Oct 2022)"
