Note di degustazione
The 2020 Barbaresco Sori Paitin Serraboella offers lovely purity on the nose, with wild raspberries, preserved fresh flowers, more sweet herbs and earth, and fresh apricot. It’s ripe and reveals a lovely structure, with plush tannins and great length. It’s a delicious and impressive red to drink over the next 15 or so years.

The 2020 Barbaresco Sorì Paitin is a regal, elegant wine. Powerful yet delicate, with tons of understated power, the Sorì Paitin is a textbook example of what fine Barbaresco can be. Sweet red cherry fruit, kirsch, mint, blood orange, spice, hard candy and orange peel soar out of the glass, framed by silky yet incisive young Nebbiolo tannins. The balance here is just sublime. For my money, this is the Paitin Barbaresco to buy in 2020.
In the local dialect, a "sorì" refers to the top of a hill that gets the most sunlight. The 2020 Barbaresco Serraboella Sorì Paitin is a special selection of fruit from a pinpoint area within this greater cru site in the village of Neive. Certified for organics, it does indeed show slightly riper and sweeter fruit, which is expected given the very warm temperatures seen during this growing season. This wine does not have the same austerity that we get in the wider selection from Serraboella. Instead, this bottle offers a softly layered expression with cassis, red rose, peony, apricot, spice and iodine. Exactly 11,794 bottles were released.
Neive. Mid ruby. Youthful cherry-fruit nose with hints of garden herbs. Compact, youthful raspberry fruit with finely chiselled, persistent tannins. Great purity and bite on the finish. (WS)
