## Summary

Serraboella blends fruit from two plots within Paitin's namesake cru in Neive: the more mineral, rugged 'd Tourun plot bordering the Bricco, and the finer, more sheltered Schiena d'Ernestin plot. It has been vinified as a standalone wine since 1999, having previously been part of the Sorì Paitin Barbaresco.

## Tasting notes

Producer's note on the 2017 vintage: approachable given the generous vintage that brought sweeter tannins, without compromising the complexity and verticality typical of Serraboella; described as the door toward the complexity of Paitin's wines.
