THE STORY

About this wine

100% Barbera, principally from Serraboella di Neive with a small portion of Rivoli di Alba — dry and medium-bodied, lifted by lively acidity, ripe red and black fruit over graphite and smoke, savory and spicy at the close.

Paitin is the Pasquero-Elia family’s estate winery in Neive, with a winemaking history dating to 1893. The Serra name was first used for this wine in 1985; the estate describes it as an expression of the fresher, more delicate Barbera slope of Serraboella.

Worth knowing

For the Pasquero-Elia family, serra means a slope of the Serraboella hill, and the name first went on this wine in 1985. It still belongs mostly to Serraboella di Neive, though the current cuvée also brings in a small portion from Rivoli in Alba.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Paitin Barbera d'Alba Serra 2024

Tasting

Color: Deep ruby in the glass, a red with real depth.
Nose: Open and giving: sweet red stone fruit leads, flowers right behind it, then black cherry and blackcurrant, with graphite and smoke emerging underneath.
Palate: Dry and medium-bodied, with high, lively acidity doing the work — red and black fruit over a mineral, graphite edge, fine soft tannins, and a finish that lands savory and spicy.
