Paitin – Barbaresco Sorì Paitin Vecchie Vigne Riserva – 2010 – MG

Barbaresco Vecchie Vigne comes with 60-year-old vines from the Serraboella vineyard. First produced in 1999, and only later in better vintages, it represents the pinnacle of Paitin wines. The wine has been aged longer than usual-3 years in large wooden barrels and all the rest in bottles. It comes out on the market only when the winery deems it ready. To say it is a great Barbaresco is the least. It is a wine that surprises for its ability to evolve, for its structure wrapped in great acidity and drinkability, but with deeply long tannins. One of the highest expressions of Barbaresco ever.

Description

When one speaks of Paitin, one cannot help but associate this name with Barbaresco.
One of the wineries with the most history, handed down for two centuries and owner of the Serraboella vineyard since 1800, where the winery headquarters still reside. This area is particularly suited for the production of nebbiolo for Barbaresco, precisely because it enjoys an unusual microclimate, that is, soils rich in layers of blue limestone beyond the sands, giving the wines an important and atypical structure and longevity. The approach in the vineyard is minimalist intervening only with the use of copper and sulfur, indeed since 2015 the winery has focused on an organic approach. In the winery, on the other hand, the style is purely traditional, with long aging in large barrels, respecting the natural timing of each wine. Classic, authentic, territorial wines, where you can feel the real history and Langa. Wines that personally drive me crazy, for their longevity, austerity, class and sensuality.
