Like a fine barba. Insane value. Honestly, should be a 94-95 but mouth feel is a tiny bit thin in a good way.

Third langhe Nebbiolo from 2021 I’ve had (after produttori and massolino) and I continue to be impressed - and hopeful for the Barolos / Barbarescos to come! This Starda from Paitin is a bit more generous and a bit less of an acid driven refined finish than the produttori. But still very nice - especially for <$20.

Lots of tar, super juicy, and acid forward, blackberry, dried violets, roasted plums, black tea, minerals, grapefruit pith. A little tight when opened, needed to breathe. From Town Center Wines, Eastham. 06/18/23.

Basically a bottle of great Barbaresco. Young vines from Cru Serraboella combined with another vineyard in Alba. Roast plums, tar, black tea, jasmine, nutmeg. Sensational! #paitin #nebbiolo

Decent red, a little tart or acidic on thr back end. Perhaps more time to breath is needed. Nice light color, almost translucent. Seems to be young, fruity in flavor. Dont recall where I picked this up. Enjoyed with pasta and a homemade sauce. I would pick this up again.
