Produttori del Barbaresco – Barbaresco Riserva Paje’ – 2015

We are talking about 1958 when Don Fiorino Marengo, parish priest of Barbaresco, decided to found the Barbaresco Producers Cooperative by bringing together 19 farmers to pursue the work begun by Domizio Cavazza and make the prestige of this wine known to the whole world. Right from the start they decided to specialize in the processing of a single grape variety: Nebbiolo. It was a revolutionary and not at all easy choice, the key principle was to focus on quality and no longer on quantity, so the grapes that were given had to be of excellent choice, beautiful, healthy and well-kept bunches! A further obligation was imposed on the producers, all the Nebbiolo grapes owned by them had to be given to the Cooperative. Rigid rules but which immediately brought excellent results and awards.
Today the winery has about 60 members and more than 100 hectares of Nebbiolo vineyards, but the principles have always remained the same, continuing to give us excellent wines.

Pajé, a small mention that in recent years has been able to earn an excellent reputation thanks to the production of wines capable of combining elegance, tannin and complexity.
The first vintage with this mention on the label was produced in 1967, today the Barbaresco Pajé comes out only in Riserva, after 36 months of aging in large oak barrels. A bottle of great pleasure, hints of fruit accompanied by a slightly spicy note, excellent to drink now but exceptional in a few years. 2015, a vintage with slightly milder temperatures that brought us extraordinarily complex, ready and very pleasant wines.
