Tasting notes
The Roagna 2015 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti opens to a light garnet color and a deep glossy shine. Fruit from old vines manages to intercept that impossible meeting point between power and elegance. This wine shows a delicately lifted and bright bouquet, yet it also reveals compact fruit and long persistence. You feel that extra richness on the finish. Production is a mere 2,418 bottles.

The 2015 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti is beautifully perfumed and lifted from the very first taste. There is an element of translucence to the 2015 that is utterly beguiling. Rose petal, mint, sweet red cherry, spice and new leather all grace this understated, alluring Barbaresco. All the elements fall into place effortlessly.
