Roagna Barbaresco Pajé DOCG 2019

A 2019 Barbaresco DOCG from Roagna, made from Nebbiolo grown in the Pajé vineyard, one of the historic sites of Barbaresco. The vines are between 25 and 50 years old and all of massal selection origin. Fermentation takes place in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, followed by submerged-cap maceration for at least two and a half months. The wine then matures in neutral oak barrels for about five years. It is a wine of great structure, suited to braised red meats, game and savoury, aromatic-spicy dishes. On the nose it shows violet, red fruit and delicate spicy, toasted notes. The palate is intense and velvety, with soft tannins, freshness and a long finish.
