The Paitin 2022 Barbaresco Serraboella reveals pretty complexity with tart cherry flavors, cassis, rose tea and pressed violets. There is a hint of mineral or pencil shaving, and these balanced flavors tie in nicely into the wine's silky tannins and taut structure. This pretty wine offers great tension and energy.

The 2022 Barbaresco Serraboella is another success for Paitin in this vintage. A wine of reserved power, the 2022 needs a few years to come together, but it has considerable potential. Dark red fruit, iron, new leather, incense and blood orange infuse the 2022 with tons of character. Give the bruising tannins a few years to soften. This understated Barbaresco packs quite the punch. An iron fist in a velvet glove.

A beam of cherry courses through this otherwise austere red, along with savory notes of wild herbs, earth and iron. Backed by a base of dense, dusty tannins, and a flash of the cherry fruit echoes on the finish. Supple texture. Best from 2029 through 2045.
