Because the Vecchie Vigne was not made in 2022, fruit from the old vines was directed to this wine instead. The Paitin 2022 Barbaresco Serraboella Sorì Paitin is a beautiful wine with dark elements of graphite, dusty root, pencil shaving and licorice. This site has active limestone, and this brings a sense of greater volume in terms of mouthfeel, tannic firmness and balanced acidity.
Winery: Serraboella is the most famous cru in the Southern Neive. A long hill exposed to West that gently bends towards the south getting steeper. On this very side: the steepest and the warmest, our Barbaresco has a unique expression. Power, volume are laced by a elegant texture. In our Barbaresco two vineyards contributes to this wine. The most mineral in character and the vineyard that shares a border with the Bricco.
