Produttori del Barbaresco, Barbaresco Paje, 2019 is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.

Nestled in the heart of Barbaresco, Produttori del Barbaresco’s Paje 2019 is a wine that beautifully showcases the power and elegance of Nebbiolo. Known for its exceptional vineyards and traditional approach, Produttori del Barbaresco has crafted a wine that speaks to both the finesse and structure that define Barbaresco at its finest.

On the nose, the wine is immediately expressive, with bright red fruit—cherry, raspberry, and a touch of strawberry—interwoven with delicate floral notes of rose and violet. These are complemented by earthy aromas of tobacco, leather, and a hint of dried herbs, adding layers of complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with tannins that are firm yet refined, providing both power and grace. The acidity is well-integrated, giving the wine a refreshing lift and balance. The finish is long and persistent, with lingering fruit, earthy spice, and a mineral edge that reflects the Paje vineyard’s unique terroir.

Barbaresco Paje 2019 pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, truffle dishes, or a selection of aged cheeses. While it is showing beautifully now, it also has the structure and depth to age gracefully for years to come. A true representation of Barbaresco, this wine embodies the elegance, complexity, and aging potential that Nebbiolo is known for.

The Produttori is Barbaresco’s benchmark producer. A huge share of the village’s best farmers, representing virtually all of its best terroirs, bring their fruit to the co-op. It is hard to be admitted to the co-op. There is a waiting list; only a few make it. Once you are in, the rules are strict. You don’t get to hold back any wine for your own labels. This isn’t a region where growers ship off their second best to the co-op and put their pride and joy in their own luxury bottles. You have to meet strict quality controls, of course. The Produttori is only devoted to quality-minded farmers with incredible terroir giving their all. The winemaking is likewise next level. Aldo Vacca, the co-op’s general manager, is one of the wine world’s greatest artists. If you ever have the opportunity to meet and taste with him, take it; he is also one of the wine world’s great communicators.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 93
"The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is full of character. Strong mineral, savory and floral notes jump out of the glass, before veins of tannin make themselves felt on the palate. A powerful, young Barbaresco, the Pajè is going to need a number of years to come into its own. That said, all of its signatures are very much present." -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 94
"The 2019 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè reveals a medium-dark appearance with purple and redcurrants, heritage rose and spicy cardamom. A pretty note of iron ore or metallic mineral is folded within. Pajè brings us an accessible profile with silky, resolved tannins." -Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

WS 93
"Elegant and expressive, this rose-, strawberry- and cherry-flavored red is harmonious and charming. Mineral and wild herb flavors add grace notes as the finish persists with a mix of fruit and mineral."

"Pajé always represents the lifted, spritely like wine within the Riserva lineup of Produttori. This vintage holds true to that but with a slight darker note on the nose. Aroma of crushed raspberries mixed with black cherries, fresh bay leaf and sweet spice. The first sip causes the head to spin with glee as wild berries, dried roses and sage leap forward quickly tamed by fine tannins and vibrant acidity, acting more as headmasters, telling everyone to wait a bit more to show their goods."

Kerin O'Keefe

WE 98
"Pine forest, cedar, new leather and ripe red berry are just some of the intense aromas you’ll find on the fragrant 2019 Pajè Riserva from Produttori del Barbaresco. Youthfully austere and linear, the structured palate displays ripe Morello cherry, black raspberry, star anise and crushed mint alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity imparts fantastic energy and serious aging potential. What a fantastic expression of this site."
