Review Date: 01/2026The captivating Roagna 2020 Barbaresco Pajè beguiles with its flower shop aromas of red rose, lavender and violet that intertwine with forest floor, new leather and eucalyptus. On the elegant palate, notes of star anise, truffle and blood orange accent a red cherry core before a tangy mineral finish. Taut, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity keep it well balanced. (KO)

Notes
Roagna’s Pajè Barbaresco is a deeply expressive and structured Nebbiolo, capturing the elegance and power of this historic cru. The nose is layered and complex, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and dried rose, intertwined with notes of orange zest, licorice, and crushed herbs. The palate is refined yet intense, offering vibrant red fruit, firm yet polished tannins, and a striking mineral core, all balanced by fresh acidity. A long, resonant finish lingers with nuances of balsamic, cedar, and earthy spice.
