Back in 1958, Luca's grandfather decided that this parcel would be fermented separately. The family's holdings in Pajé measure two hectares over the slope of a hill, but the Crichët Pajé selection comes from a half hectare with more limestone at the top part. The fruit always shows an initially firm or clinched character that bodes well for the wine's aging potential. It was historically set apart as a "Riserva di Famiglia" and represents 20 years of hard work and a special focus by Luca's grandfather. He affectionately called it "la piccolo collina di Pajé," or "the little Pajé hill." Nebbiolo from that little plot reveals an enormous capacity to maintain brightness and freshness. The wines made here remain vibrant and alive for many, many years. Alfredo Roagna created the first commercial vintage in 1978.
