Notes

You noticed the step up intensity and complexity that you get from such old vines, however the real trick here is that it manages to maintain Paje’s characteristic charm end seduction, even if it does take a little longer to coax the flavours from the glass. Notes of kirsch, fresh cherry and mineral, tight packed and focused but so graceful with it. From 70 year old vines within the Paje vineyard, which is an ampitheatre in the centre of the Barbaresco commune facing south west and planted on limestone soils, sitting just below Rabaja.

Notes

Roagna’s 2011 Barbaresco Pajé Vecchie Viti opens with the most exquisite aromatics imaginable. A hypothetical blend of Asili and Montefico, the Pajé Vecchie Viti offers captivating perfume, ripe, silky fruit and exceptional overall balance. Oddly, the Vecchie Viti is much more accessible than the straight Pajé, which Roagna ascribes to this wine having had one more racking during aging. In 2011, the Barbaresco Pajé Vecchie Viti is pure and total finesse.
