Origins and Meaning: The term “Crichet” evokes the upper part of the small hill, a privileged place for growing Nebbiolo, characterized by perfect exposure and sheltered from the winds. “Pajé” refers to the vineyard of origin, a microplot within the Pajé vineyard enriched with white limestone marls and characterized by a high content of active limestone. This single acreage of just over half a hectare has a unique soil and microclimate that give the wine a distinctive personality.
Production Process: Crichët Pajé requires long maturation and does not leave the cellar until about 10 years after the vintage. The grapes are harvested by hand in October, in one morning, when they reach perfect physiological ripeness. After two manual selections to ensure integrity, the grapes are vinified in wooden vats with indigenous yeasts. Fermentation, which lasts about ten days, is followed by the application of the ancient maceration technique of submerged cap splinting, which lasts for two and a half, sometimes three months (80-90 days). The wine matures in neutral oak barrels to complete its development.
Distinguishing Notes: Bottle production is extremely limited, often less than 1,000 and never more than a little over 2,000 in some vintages. Each bottle is numbered, testifying to the attention to detail and quality that characterizes the winery’s work.
Sensory Experience: Roagna Barbaresco Crichët Pajé 2014 DOCG offers a unique sensory journey with complex notes and extraordinary elegance. Enveloping aromas of ripe fruits and spices meld with a rich, structured palate characterized by vibrant freshness and fine persistence.
