Tasting Note:

"The 2017 Barbaresco Paje Vecchie Viti is fascinating to taste next to the straight Paje. The old vines bottling shows more depth and muscle, along with a distinctly savory imprint that is quite beguiling. Sweet dried cherry, spice, crushed flowers, mint and incense infuse the 2017 with notable depth. The tannins are a bit unyielding today, so a few years of cellaring at a minimum seem warranted."
