The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Paje' pours a deeper red hue and is polished on the nose with aromas of black cherries candied berries polished leather sweet herbs and balsamic herbs. Usually this site has a brighter more floral character but here it has a bit more richness with an outstanding balance of savoriness velvety textured tannins and dark stony underpinnings seamlessly weaving together through the long finish. It?s an exceptional wine in this vintage and should have a wide window for enjoyment over the coming 20 years. - Audrey Frick 05/25

The 2020 Pajè Riserva is a beautiful wine starting with its enticing scents of dog rose violet eucalyptus new leather and white pepper. A bit firmer than Pora the savory palate delivers juicy red cherry strawberry compote blood orange and wild herb before an almost salty finish. Fine-grained tannins provide weightless support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2026?2032. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O?Keefe September 2024

The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is a classic wine from this site. Deeply spiced and balsamic notes meld into a core of dark sepia-toned Nebbiolo fruit. A Barbaresco of real presence and substance the Pajè makes itself felt. It's one of my early dark horse favorites in this range from Produttori del Barbaresco. - By Antonio Galloni on September 2024

The 2020 Pajé is rich even sumptuous offering cherry raspberry blood orange and floral notes squarely more on the fruity side than savory. Fleshy firm and long underscored by dense tannins. Bruce Sanderson This is all about power and structure with cherry blackberry earth wild herb and tar flavors buoyed by a dense matrix of tannins. The fruit is there peeking through the maze briefly before the tannins take hold on the finish; never obtrusive they drive the lingering finish. Best from 2029 through 2045.?B.S.

The Pajè vineyard faces the Tanaro River and is tucked at back of a narrow theater of vines. The site is often characterized by a floral note of rose and violet that comes thought nicely in the Produttori del Barbaresco 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè. With those sweet floral notes comes an open-knit mouthfeel and a more immediate drinking style with soft silky tannins. In fact this was the second of nine wines served in a flight that started with the lightest Riservas and ended with the most powerful wines. Monica Larner
