Paitin’s 2019 vintage Sorì Paitin is both earthier and spicier than the 2018 vintage. In Barbaresco, 2019 was seen as an excellent vintage but did experience slightly more trouble due to a wet spring and localized hail storms. Tobacco, wet clay, asphalt, and violet notes are more prominent in this wine, supporting the Nebbiolo’s traditional notes of sour cherry, cranberry, and rose petals. With a few hours of air, the wine is drinking beautifully already.
