Paitin – Nebbiolo d’Alba Ca Veja – 2020

A Nebbiolo that shows great personality like the winery’s other wines, in this case the vineyards are located south of Alba outside the Barbaresco appellation, in the Rivoli locality where there is an old farmhouse that inspired the name. An area this considered excellent for wines with an austere mold due to the marly soils at a fair altitude, the harvest is manual and the vinification meticulous, submerged cap fermentation and maceration for 3 to 6 weeks in steel tanks then aging is 18 to 24 months in 25- and 50-hectoliter Slavonian barrels. The result is a captivating wine, beautiful dark berry aromas with hints of spice on the finish, on the palate it is of a fabric not to be underestimated revealing a bold tannic texture and a finish of good persistence.

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.
