Roagna Barbaresco Paje 2017

A magnificent Northern Italian red wine displaying a brilliant garnet color. The complex nose opens with an intense bouquet of wild red berries and dried rose petals, layered with licorice, white pepper, iron, and crushed stone minerals. On the palate, it balances energetic berry fruit and vibrant acidity with tightly wound, structured tannins.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with roasted duck breast, savory wild boar ragu, white truffle risotto, and aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
