Paitin Langhe 2000 (Piemonte)





A delicious super-piedmont blend of 60% nebbiolo, 30% barbera, and 10% cabernet from a family run, old-time producer named after one of the great crus in the Barbaresco region. Depending upon the vintage, (2000 was a great year in the langhe) the wine is made from different blends or even a single varietal.

Very intense, purple-red color (from the barbera). Ripe, red fruit and forest on the nose. A warm, long and velvety finish. I enjoyed this wine with pork marsala and baby portobello mushrooms.
