The 2012 Barbaresco Pajoré shows the pedigree of this great site in its balance of fruit, acidity and tannin. Like all the wines in this vintage, the Pajoré is a mid-weight Barbaresco, but here it is the wine's textural finesse that impresses above all else. Chalky tannins underpin flowers, spices, tangerine peel and star anise on the expressive, floral finish.
1.5 Ha holdings in Pajore vineyard, 45 year old vines, Treiso. Pajore is located in a part of Treiso that has a very high percentage of limestone, slowing ripening. The wine has less color and fruit and more expressive aromatics of minerality and herbs. Vinification of all the single vineyard Barbarescos are the same, the differences are expressed through the site. Production: 5,000 bottles.
