A silky, elegant red, this exhibits floral, strawberry and cherry flavors, with a hint of licorice. Structured, with a light chewiness to the finish now. Offers fine balance and expression, with a long, detailed aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2042. 273 cases made.

Roagna has two bottlings from this site in Barbaresco, one made with younger vines and one from older vines. The 2017 Barbaresco Pajè Vecchie Viti comes from the more precious old vines that are all over 50 years old. This limited selection results in a slim production of 2,850 bottles. This expression does indeed reveal a greater sense of depth and detail with wild cherry, dark rose and orange peel. The bouquet is nuanced and fine, and the tannins just melt away over a long finish. Roagna excels in the difficult vintages, and this bottle is a prime example. Drink date: 2025 - 2050. (Monica Larner)
