Roagna Barbaresco Crichet Paje 2015

Seductive and weightless. Rose petal, dried cherry, incense and tobacco spice drift upward with an intensity that feels effortless rather than showy. On the palate, the fruit is translucent and lifted, framed by silky tannins and a thread of iron-mineral grip that grounds the whole thing. What sets the 2015 Crichet Paje apart is how it holds its exotic, perfumed character without ever tipping into excess, the classicism is always there, pulling back. A wine of genuine finesse from a single vineyard that earns its reputation. Drink 2025–2045.
