The flagship bottling from Paitin.  Released in the best years. It comes from the oldest vines within Sori Paitin parcel of Serraboella.  You might say a cru within a cru within a cru.  The plots were planted in 1948 & 1953.

95 Points, Galloni - "The 2020 Barbaresco Riserva Vecchie Vigne is a touch more generous than the 2021 tasted alongside it. Even so, it retains plenty of rigor and vibrancy. Expressive spice notes meld into a core of bright red-toned fruit. This mid-weight Riserva needs a few more years in bottle to be at its very best.”

95 Points, Parker (Monica Larner) – “The Paitin 2020 Barbaresco Serraboella Riserva Sorì Paitin Vecchie Vigne is a special wine that stands apart from its peers. Its distinct character leans into savory aromas of earth, truffle and spice that tie in beautifully with the wine's dark core of fruit. Although the bouquet is very expressive and spicy, the wine produces a lean to medium-bodied texture with powdery dry tannins that give it immediate appeal. You can wait to cellar it longer, but this vintage could ultimately offer more pleasure if consumed in the near term.” 

95 Points, Wine Spectator – “Intense and aromatic, this red offers cherry, raspberry, floral, iron and underbrush flavors. The vivid acidity and beefy tannins are prominent now, yet there’s viscosity midpalate. In the end, this finds its equilibrium, while the flavors persist on the saturated finish”. Best from 2030 through 2047.
