This 7.5 acre vineyard is close to Asili but is located on a different ridge. At a lower altitude the vineyard receives a cool wind from the Tanaro river and has higher calcium levels in its soil. The higher acidity in this wine allows it to better retain its fresh character as it ages. The first vintage of Pajè was produced in 1982.
Bouquet of fresh red fruits and herbal hints entice the nose as the flavor is complex with notes of bright fruit lively acidity and a pleasant finish."
Vinous: 96 Points
Beams of minerality and salinity cut through a core of dense dark fruit in the 2014 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè. Deeply pitched and tannic the 2014 is a super-classic youthfully austere Barbaresco that is going to need time to be at its best. Readers should expect a firm structured Barbaresco. The finish alone is striking. Crushed rocks minerals sage and lavender add nuance to this chiseled finely sculpted Barbaresco. Readers who can find it should not hesitate.
