With fruit from a celebrated site in the village of Neive with its rolling hills and wide panoramas, this is a lean and shiny ruby-colored wine. The Paitin 2020 Barbaresco Serraboella is ethereal and luminous in appearance; however, the aromas offer strength and a bold character. There is bright berry fruit, but the bigger takeaways are savory nuances of licorice, iris root and even an exotic note of teakwood or mahogany. This is an impeccably elegant wine with 10,000 bottles made. It stands out in this flight.

The 2020 Barbaresco Serraboella is a very pretty, supple wine that marries the natural intensity of this site with an added kick of fruit and overall exoticism. Macerated cherry fruit, spice and soaring floral notes flesh out. The 2020 boasts striking inner perfume to match its succulent personality. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this gem.
