Territory and wine style

The wine originates from the Pajé vineyard, in a selected portion of the hill facing southwest and influenced by the Tanaro valley, which helps to mitigate the climate. The parcel designated for Barbaresco Crichët Pajé DOCG is distinguished by its high content of white calcareous marl and a microclimate particularly favorable to Nebbiolo. The very old vines, coming from mass selection, result in an extremely limited production, with a classic and rigorous imprint, oriented towards finesse and longevity.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it offers a deep interpretation of Nebbiolo, with floral, fruity, and spicy sensations that can be enriched with elegant tertiary tones as it ages. On the palate, it is an articulated wine, supported by freshness, fine tannic structure, and very long persistence, with a balance between energy, sapidity, and complexity. Its vocation is that of an authoritative red, built to last and to give its best after a long maturation.
