Tasting notes
What a special treat. The Roagna 2016 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti shows extreme elegance and grace with heightened complexity and sharpness that can only be obtained with old vines. It opens slowly to reveal red and purple fruits and moves forward to shadings of spice, earth and truffle essence. What stands out most, however, is the very silky and fine nature of the mouthfeel. Only 3,112 bottles were produced.

The 2016 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti is an exotic, totally beguiling wine laced with super-classic Nebbiolo notes of rose petal, orange peel, cinnamon and macerated cherry. Aromatic, sensual and constantly changing in the glass, the Pajè Vecchie Viti is everything Nebbiolo and Barbaresco are supposed to be. The complexity here is just unreal.
About the producer
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.
