2018 | Domenico Clerico Pajana | Barolo Spatlese with a core of fruitThe 2018 Barolo Pajana shows a savory character with some delicate spice and smoke that is carefully folded into dark fruit, plum and earthy flower or iris root. Fruit comes from a site in the Ginestra MGA that was planted in 1971 with additional vines added in 1991. The wine shows excellent complexity and balanced intensity that is well suited to long cellar aging. 95 Pts Wine Advocate
