Tasting Notes: The 2007 Barbaresco Crichet Pajé, Roagna displays a ruby colour with garnet hints. The nose reveals marasca cherry, plum, rose petals, mint, underbrush, and touches of iodine, sea salt, and subtle tar. On the palate, it’s elegant yet firm, with silky tannins, lively acidity, and flavours of red and dark berries, herbs, and mineral salinity. The finish is long and layered, showing maturity while retaining freshness and poise for further evolution
