Paitin – Barbaresco Sorì Paitin Vecchie Vigne – 1999

The Barbaresco Vecchie Vigne comes from 60 year old vines from the Serraboella vineyard. Produced for the first time in 1999, and only afterwards in the best vintages, it represents the top of Paitin wines. The wine has been aged for a longer period than usual, 3 years in large wooden casks and the rest in bottle. It is released on the market only when the winery considers it ready. To say it is a great Barbaresco is the minimum. It is a wine which surprises for its ability to evolve, for its structure wrapped by a great acidity and drinkability, but with deeply long tannins. One of the highest expressions of Barbaresco ever. Despite the fact that more than 20 years have passed since the harvest, the 1999 remains a wine of great importance and it is not by chance that the winery chooses to sell it late in the market. Notes of coffee, clean mouthfeel with great softness and sweet tannins. Masterpiece.

Description

When talking about Paitin it is impossible not to associate this name to Barbaresco.
Paitin is one of the wineries with the most history, handed down from two centuries and owner of Serraboella vineyard since 1800, where the winery’s headquarter is still located. This area is particularly suited for the production of Nebbiolo for Barbaresco, just because it enjoys an unusual microclimate, that is soils rich in layers of blue limestone in addition to sand, giving wines an important and atypical structure and longevity. The approach in the vineyard is minimalist by intervening only with the use of copper and sulfur, indeed since 2015 the winery has focused on an organic approach. In the cellar, however, the style is purely traditional, with long aging in large barrels, respecting the natural time of each wine. Classic, authentic, territorial wines, where you can feel the true history and Langa. Wines that personally drive me crazy, for their longevity, austerity, class and sensuality.
