ready-improve2016 Barbaresco Pajé, Roagna, Piedmont

The 2016 Barbaresco Pajè is one of the highlights in this range as it offers gorgeous mid-palate depth with super-classic structure. Dark cherry tobacco licorice leather and deeply-pitched spice accents infuse the 2016 with captivating nuance. The Pajè represents a bridge to the higher-end wines in this range. All of these wines have become pricey but the Pajè is one of the larger-production wines and consistently delivers superb quality at a more approachable price than many of the other wines in the range. The 2016 is positively stellar. - Vinous
