Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Paje Riserva | 2021 | 750ml

About This Wine

Pajè's Riserva tends to sit between the power of Montestefano and the lightness of Ovello. Offered in the 2021 and 2020 vintages.

In great vintages the cooperative bottles single-vineyard Barbaresco from nine classic sites as Riserva, aged for about four years before release. In other years that fruit goes into the classic Barbaresco blend.

Produttori del Barbaresco is a cooperative founded in 1958 in the village of Barbaresco, with roots in a growers' cellar set up there in 1894. Its member families farm more than 100 hectares of Nebbiolo, roughly a sixth of the appellation, and the cooperative makes only Nebbiolo.

Serving

Serve at 60 to 65°F, and decant young bottles for an hour or two. Pairs with grilled beef or venison.

About Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo pairs delicate red fruit and floral aromatics with a firm, tannic, long-lived structure. Its cool Piedmont home sharpens its tannic, aromatic profile.
