Best known for their releases from within the Sarraboella region of Barbareso, just outside the town of Nieve, 200+ year old Paitin stands out as traditional and classic even in an area brimming with said same. They farm organically (with biodynamic leanings), hand-harvesting Nebbiolo from their 9 acre Sori Paitin vineyard, macerating the fruit for up to 45 days before maturing for 3 years in Salvonian oak.
