The Barbaresco DOCG Pajè Vecchie Viti 2017 by Roagna is a wine that best expresses the authenticity of Nebbiolo, cultivated in a historic vineyard located in the heart of the Langhe. The vines of Pajè, with an average age of over 50 years, are rooted in calcareous and clayey soils, ideal conditions for producing a complex and nuanced wine. The 2017 harvest produced grapes of the highest quality, thanks to a warm climate year that led to perfect ripening of the clusters. In the cellar, Roagna followed a traditional vinification method, with long macerations and at least five years of aging in oak barrels, to fully enhance the characteristics of the terroir.
