Much of the improvements made to the celebrated Pajé cru are thanks to the Roagna family that owns a large part of it. Here is a cellared Riserva with darker concentration and heft followed by broad aromas of tobacco, leather, spice and plummy fruit. Mineral notes and cassis play a part and the wine needs some time in the glass to fully open.

This vintage of Barbaresco from the excellent Pajé cru is very focused on wild strawberries, red currant and cassis but behind the fruit you will find white mineral, ash and smoke. The mouthfeel is compact and firm but much of the pulpy fruit here has since evolved. The wine is ready to drink and would pair with risotto and white truffles.

Pajé is a beautiful amphitheater of vines in Barbaresco known for finesse and elegance. This older vintage maintains very good integrity of fruit that is enhanced by layers of black licorice, mineral notes, ash, tobacco and cola. But at the heart of it all is a blast of red cherry. It’s a vertical, intense and streamlined wine that is ready to drink now.

Vigna Rionda is among the finest crus in the Serralunga d’Alba area with 40- to 60-year-old vines and this producer takes a traditional approach to Barolo. It opens with a slightly brownish hue and seems older than the vintage thanks to aromas of old spice, used leather and dried herbs. The mouthfeel is raw, but firm.

The 2001 vintage shows well in this expressive Barolo that does a great job of communicating territory and tradition. Mineral notes play against dried fruit, currants and exotic spice. In the mouth, the wine exhibits pulp and density with excellent power over a compact, lean feel. Drink it with important meat or pasta dishes.

Here is a carefully aged Barolo Riserva from the Pira cru (also known as La Rocca) with dark concentration backed by rose petal, hickory smoke, root beer, wet stone and moist mineral notes. It’s a big, bold and masculine interpretation with an elegant, dusty mouthfeel and polished tannins. Drink now with pork stuffed with wild mushrooms.
