Pajoré

By Sottimano, Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy

Sottimano Pajoré

Barbaresco DOCG from the Pajoré cru north of Treiso, on soils of calcareous marl and clay.

Tasting notes

Spice and tobacco define the nose, while the palate returns savoury and saline notes with hints of cherry and mint. A generous structure with precise tannins; lingering fruit and balsamic notes stand out on the finish.

Vinification
After a careful selection of the grapes, alcoholic fermentation happens spontaneously. Long maceration on the skins and a period of submerged cap are followed by racking into wood, where malolactic fermentation completes. The wine then rests in bottle for about a year before release.
