The 2001 Barbaresco Sori Paitin is a sumptuous, modern-styled Barbaresco with a complex and intriguing nose of crushed raspberries and sweet spices. On the palate the wine is packed with lush fruit, minerals, and tar, closing with an attractive balsamic note. Well integrated oak and a sense of freshness on the finish make this a very complete wine. It is aged 70% in 25 hectoliter casks and 30% in barriques. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2014.
