  • 2009 Paitin di Pasquero-Elia Langhe Nebbiolo

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    Darker core with garnet rim; sandy nose with wilted rose, mint, red cherry, red currant, plum, some sun dried fruit; softer texture, round with dark cherry plum and currant, good depth and complexity from bottle age, leather on finish; good, sadly there will be no more Cabernet in the blends as it was cut out and Barbera was grafted onto the roots.

Closing

Paitin makes some really great wines. Even though we didn't taste any higher end bottlings these "entry" level wines really show you their attention to detail and expertise.
