Paje (Pajè) is one of the more elegant, aromatic crus in Produttori del Barbaresco's lineup, balancing intensity with finesse. The 2013 is a classic, structured vintage, lending the wine brighter acidity and firmer, more youthful tannins than the warmer 2011. It shows beautifully now with a decant but has the freshness and frame to keep developing for years. Produttori only bottles these Riservas in vintages worthy of the extra aging. A graceful, terroir-driven Barbaresco for the patient.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Pajé is simply fabulous. Sweet floral notes soar from the glass as this deep, beautifully resonant Barbaresco shows off its compelling inner sweetness and total sense of poise. The flavors are deep yet fresh, with wonderful fragrance and impeccable balance throughout. A wine of total harmony, the 2013 is going to be nearly impossible to resist young. The 2013 is one of the best versions of the Pajé I can remember tasting." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The 2013 Barbaresco Riserva Pajè is another expression (similar to the Barbaresco Riserva Pora) that falls onto the more immediate and approachable side of the drinking spectrum. This near or medium-term Barbaresco opens to fresh aromas of wild cherry and forest fruit with subtle touches of spice and grilled herb. The wine's aromas are delivered with direct, vertical intensity. Indeed, the mouthfeel is equally focused and precise. Pajè offers a robust, dark appearance with soft tannins that caress the palate." —Monica Larner

"Cherry, floral and wild herb aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this elegant, tensile red. Silky, yet with plenty of tannins underneath, giving overall balance and length. Shows lovely freshness."

Kerin O'Keefe

"Forest berry, chopped mint, clove and new leather aromas take center stage on this elegant, full-bodied red. The savory, smooth palate doles out succulent red cherry, raspberry compote and licorice while vibrant acidity and tightly knit, refined tannins provide balance and support. It has great energy and is loaded with flavor but will be even better with a few more years aging. Drink 2020–2038." —Kerin O'Keefe
