A stunning Barbaresco that’s super complex and elegant. Aromas of embers, wild strawberries, savory dried flowers, angelica, wet slate and lemon leaves. Vibrant and zesty, with a full body and firm, dusty yet ripe tannins. Juicy and meaty with a chewy finish. It will last for decades. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti is s total stunner. A complex, dynamic wine, the Vecchie Viti impresses in all of its dimensions. Soaring aromatics are immediately captivating. Layered spice notes, new leather, menthol, dried herbs and incense play off a core of dark-hued Nebbiolo fruit. Not surprisingly, the 2020 has shut down fiercely after bottling. Readers should not plan on opening a bottle anytime soon.
