Sottimano Barbaresco Pajoré 2023

Sottimano Barbaresco Pajoré 2023

Sottimano Barbaresco Pajoré 2023 is an impressive expression of Nebbiolo from one of the most distinguished vineyard sites in Treiso, in the heart of Barbaresco. Produced from old vines rooted in limestone-rich soils, this wine combines remarkable depth with the elegance and precision characteristic of great Nebbiolo.

The nose reveals layers of ripe cherry, wild berries, rose petals, and licorice, complemented by notes of tobacco, cloves, incense, and earthy minerality. The palate is concentrated yet refined, with vibrant acidity, beautifully defined tannins, and a long, savory finish. Powerful but not heavy, this is a serious Barbaresco built for the cellar.

Food Pairings: Braised short ribs, roasted lamb, wild mushroom risotto, truffle pasta, game meats, or aged cheeses.
