“Sorì”, poetically “kissed by the sun”, is the definition traditionally given to a plot of land that, thanks to its exposure, is gifted for agriculture and viticulture in particular.
“Sorì Paitin” was given the name of the family that owns it since 1796. The plot is west-exposed gently bending towards South, getting steeper, at an altitude of 180-320 meters above sea level. As such, it is the warmest site of Serraboella, one of the most famous crus in Neive for the Barbaresco production, with sandy soils characterized by the typical “Formazioni di Lequio” stratification marls.
Paitin has more than two Centuries of history in Neive and the family brings on the philosophy of traditional production in the cellar and care for the vineyard and the eco-system.
Serraboella typical soils deliver complex Barbarescos with aging potential, also thanks to the bright acidity. Delicate notes of wild berries, fresh mint and mineral. To drink on its own, or with soft-savoured dishes: mixed vegetables, hummus, aperitivo platters, to enjoy the wine’s evolution.
It can be served slightly more chilled, at about 17-18°C or at 19-20°C for a touch of warmth and softness.
Suggestion to open it about 1 to 2 hours before serving it. And let it breath in the glass as well.
Organic viticulture, no herbicide, manual harvest
Submerged cap in maceration, aging in Slavonian oak for 18-24 months.
