Barbaresco Paje Vecchie Viti, Roagna 2008

The 2008 Barbaresco Pajé Vecchie Viti opens with an exquisite bouquet that bears more than a passing resemblance to the great Rionda Barolos in its pure seductiveness. Sweet and perfumed throughout, the 2008 conquers all of the senses with its pure fruit and exceptional overall balance. Like Grand Cru Burgundy, the Vecchie Viti is a wine of subtlety and grace. Don't expect a tannic behemoth, but rather a wine that stands out for its exceptional polish and finesse. This is a must-have bottle for Roagna aficionados.
