2021 Paitin Albesani Barbaresco (PRE-ARRIVAL ONLY)

Pre-arrival price only, wine will be $185 when landed in December. 

17.5 Jancis Robinson – “Neive. Palish ruby. Subtly fragrant raspberry fruit with a stony, minerally edge. Focused, pure and elegant on the palate with rich yet underlying finely ground, grainy tannins. Strikingly beautiful balance and great length”. (Walter Speller)

The inaugural release from this wonderful cru in Neive. 

Albesani is a much lauded cru in Barbaresco and the home of many of its most famous bottlings with Bruno Giacosa in particular.  

In addition to being a spectacular wine from the wonderful 2021 vintage, this bottling will prove to be a serious collectable as the first release from Paitin from this special vineyard.

We’ve tasted this wine 3 times now, twice from cask & last in May with our Piedmont tourers – who concluded the wine was a real knockout release.
