PAITIN Barbaresco Sori' Paitin Vecchie Vigne Riserva 2016 (750ml) XareloWinemaker Notes A "selezione massale" started from Secondo Pasquero Elia between 1948 and 1953 today express the most profound expression of the Sor Paitin. The Sor Paitin belongs to the Pasquero Elia heirs since 1796. It is the Serraboella warmest slope, graced with unique soils that since ages is planted with Nebbiolo. Sor means the first place where the snow melts with the first winter sun rays. Ancient rule to select the best plots for Nebbiolo.

I imagine it will age gracefully for a number of years to come
