Organic/Bio In Treiso, well to the south of most other famed Barbaresco Crus, Pajore balances the zone's cooler, fresher, climate with a steep southerly exposure and the intensity of 50-70 year-old vines. Very, very, Barbaresco and already fun to taste (although better in a few years).

Vinous: 97 Points

"The 2020 Barbaresco Pajorè is a textbook wine from this site. A wine of depth and stature, the Pajorè is so impressive, even just bottled. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and menthol race across the palate as the 2020 shows off its obvious pedigree. Time in theglass brings out a whole range of spice, balsamic-infused nuances that build into the palate-staining finish. The 2020 is shaping up to be truly magnificent. Drink 2026-2039"

Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points

"Pouring a rich garnet, the 2020 Barbaresco Pajore is fleshy and ripe, with a pleasant touch of rustic aromas of saddle leather, black cherry, and balsamic herbs. This medium to full-bodied red is ripe with meaty tannins, rounded black raspberry fruit, potting soil, and mouthwatering salinity on the finish. It is a ripe yet very attractive wine to hold another 6-12 months and drink 2024-2040."
