Roagna Pajè Vecchie Viti Barbaresco 2018

This pure red features cherry, raspberry, rose and licorice flavors, underlined by mineral and tobacco elements. Taut and linear, with the essence of fruit, floral and mineral notes, showing terrific harmony and length on an elegant frame. Best from 2026 through 2045. Score – 97.
