93POINTS - ROBERT PARKER'S THE WINE ADVOCATE [Read More]
The 2010 Barolo Pajana is a stunning wine that shows the power and heft of the vintage. Its texture is soft and enduring with sweet almond, toasted hazelnut, bright cherry, spice and tobacco. The young tannins require more time to soften and integrate. Drink: 2017-2032.
3.0 Ha holdings in Pajana vineyard, planted in 1965, Monforte d’Alba commune. Located west down the Ginestra ridge, turns a little southeast. Soil is the same as Ginestra, but the site is a little lower in elevation. A touch more tender than Ciabot Mentin on release. Not an officially recognized cru after the 2010 macro-zoning, but according to Domenico and other producers in the area, it is a distinct vineyard due to its exposure. Production: 11,000 bottles.
