Sorì means the first place where the snow melts with the first winter sun rays. Ancient rule to select the best plots for Nebbiolo. Serraboella is the most famous cru in the Southern Neive. A long hill exposed to West that gently bends towards South getting steeper. On this very side: the steepest and the warmest, our Barbaresco has a unique expression. Power, volume are laced by a elegant texture.
We've just received a fresh shipment of the outstanding 2021 Paitin "Sori Paitin" Barbaresco. Our first allocation disappeared almost immediately last year—and it's easy to see why. A 97-point Barbaresco for just $72.99 is the kind of value that rarely stays on the shelves for long. We're thrilled to have secured another small allocation.
The 2021 vintage is widely regarded as the greatest Barbaresco and Barolo vintage on record, and the Sori Paitin may be one of the best quality-to-price wines we've encountered. In fact, among 2021 Barbarescos reviewed by Wine Spectator, the only wine to earn a higher score is the 98-point Gaja Sorì San Lorenzo—a bottle that sells for over $1,000.
Simply put, it's hard to imagine finding a better Barbaresco for the money.
While Nebbiolo may not be the first thing that comes to mind during the heat of summer, now is the perfect time to stock up. Tuck a few bottles away for the cooler months, and you'll be rewarded with one of Piedmont's finest expressions at a fraction of the price of the region's most collectible wines.
