2006 BARBARESCO Pajore Sottimano
| Grapes: Nebbiolo | Origin: Italy, Piedmont |
Lea & Sandeman review
Pajore is a fifty year old vineyard, at 420 metres, grown on limestone and one which Sottimano belives combines all of the bset of the other vineyards, creating the most classical and elegant of all the wines. The 2006 vintage was given twenty months in French oak, of which 25% new, and the wines are serious and beautiful, but require patience too!Other reviews and comments
Sottimano’s 2006 Barbaresco Pajore shows its tell-tale notes of spices, menthol, minerals and dark fruit, on a medium bodied, sinewy frame. The Pajore offers terrific balance with notes of tar, smoke and licorice that come to life on the finish. Patience is the key here, but this remains the most compact and clenched of the 2006s. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.
92-94/100
