{"product_id":"sottimano-pajore-barbaresco-italie","title":"Sottimano - Pajoré Barbaresco - 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Barbaresco Pajoré from the Sottimano estate comes from the Pajoré cru, located in the municipality of Treiso within the historic Barbaresco area, in the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe. This hillside vineyard, facing primarily south and southwest, rests on marl-limestone soils rich in active limestone, typical of this part of Piedmont. The vines benefit from a continental climate tempered by Alpine influences, with significant temperature variations that promote the aromatic finesse and structure of the Nebbiolo grape.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes from the Pajoré plot are hand-harvested at full maturity, then destemmed and transferred to stainless steel tanks for spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, accompanied by gentle pump-overs and extended maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation occurs naturally in barrels. The wine then continues to age in French oak barrels, a small proportion of which are new, on its fine lees, before bottling without aggressive filtration to preserve the purest expression of the Barbaresco terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eblack cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003eripe red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eplum\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by floral nuances of \u003cstrong\u003edried rose\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e , as well as spicy touches of \u003cstrong\u003elicorice\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003epepper\u003c\/strong\u003e .
