A recent visit to the Paitin estate in Neive was full of delicious wines and fascinating history. The Pasquero-Elia family has been working these vineyards since 1796, and bottling the wines as Barbaresco for more than a century, even before their village officially joined Barbaresco. Three generations of the family are at work today in the vineyards and cellar, working organically and crafting Nebbiolo wines with equal power and grace.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The Paitin 2020 Barbaresco Faset (with only 3,045 bottles made) shows noticeable power and concentration that reflects the sunny warmth and high temperatures of this vintage. Vineyards in Barbaresco fared well, offering darker wines for sure, but with intact perfumes that are not weighed down by over-ripeness. Ultimately, the vintage character comes off as more accessible, maybe a little softer and more fruit-forward. Black cherry segues to earth, rust and licorice." -Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

WS 93
"A fruity version, boasting cherry, raspberry and strawberry flavors. Light on its feet, picking up accents of earth, mint and cola. Firms up on the finish, with powdery tannins."
