More muscular than the Gallina (rightfully so!), but in no way lacking finesse. Concentrated with assertive tannins, yet so lithe and pure. On the nose, roses, incense, cherries, strawberries, eucalyptus, juniper, leather, and a touch of tar. With air, the fruits came to the forefront, popping out with such clarity. On the palate, the young Barolo tannins did seem to dominate, but under it was a really fine red fruit character that gave it such a lovely drinkability. Some minerality in the lengthy finish, though not quite as palpable as on the Gallina. WOTN for all on the table. Compared to the Gallina, I can’t quite say one was better than the other - just different Roagna interpretations of Nebbiolo. — 20 days ago

The 2018 Pajé is much more reserved in its youth than the 2017. Dark fruit, rose, earth, layered on firm tannins. Long-term potential. — 4 months ago

First time trying wine from this Roagna vineyard and I’m smitten. Such a filigreed Nebbiolo and it was surprisingly open from the get-go. Perfumed, pure, and just brimming with nervy, stony energy. On the nose, it was a blast of roses, cherries, strawberries, crushed stones, and menthol, along with traces of rosemary and tar. Just so juicy, silky, and mineral on the palate. It felt delicate on a Nebbiolo-scale, but there was this forceful nature that was absolutely captivating. — 5 months ago

Very nice langhe Nebbiolo. High toned, seamless, surprisingly no rusticity. Ready to go at 6 years. Great acid and some nice mintyness. Delicious. — 3 months ago

Young and a little sweet still. Nice tannins, nuanced pepper and tobacco. Needs 5 more years. — 4 months ago
