Barbaresco Argè DOCG 2018 - Piazzo

The Barbaresco Pajorè by Cantina Piazzo Armando is a distinguished cru from the prestigious Barbaresco area in the Langhe region. With its bright garnet-red color, this Barbaresco immediately captures the eye. The nose is an intricate bouquet of red berries, dried roses, and violets, complemented by hints of sweet spices and a touch of leather. On the palate, it reveals flavors of ripe cherries, plums, and a subtle note of licorice. The tannins are fine and well-structured, giving the wine a balanced and elegant body. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a delightful aftertaste of spiced fruit and a hint of earthiness.

The grapes for this Barbaresco are hand-harvested and undergo a gentle pressing before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine then evolves for at least 9 months in small oak barrels, allowing the flavors to develop and mature gracefully. This Barbaresco Pajorè is a versatile companion at the table. It pairs excellently with hearty pasta dishes like tagliatelle with truffle sauce or rich meat dishes such as braised beef or lamb chops. Its refined structure also makes it a great match for aged cheeses like Gorgonzola or Taleggio. Ideal for a sophisticated dinner party or a special celebration, this wine is sure to impress.
