Clerico 'Pajana' Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

Robert Parker 96
"The 2007 Barolo Pajana is a showstopper. Waves of intense, beautifully delineated fruit flow onto the palate as the wine opens up in the glass. Sumptuous and elegant through and through, the Pajana shows marvelous delineation and clean, minerally notes that underpin the opulence of the fruit. This is a marvelous, totally complete Pajana of the highest level. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032."

'Pajana' comes from a vineyard at 300 meters with due south exposure, and is typically less perfumed on the nose than 'Ciabot' but rounder and lusher on the palate.
Vinification and ageing: Maceration on the skins in temperature-controlled steel for 12-14 days, ageing in French oak barriques (90% new) for 22-24 months
