The Piazzo winery’s story began in the 1960s in San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, Alba, when newlyweds Armando Piazzo and Gemma Veglia, from farming families, invested in the Langhe, a region not yet recognized for its premium wines. Despite post-war challenges, they saw the area’s potential and focused on Nebbiolo, a varietal now renowned globally. Their first wine, made from Nebbiolo, was released in 1979, and by 1982 it was labeled as Barbaresco. In 1985, with the involvement of their daughter Marina and her husband Franco, the family launched their first Barolo, solidifying the winery’s reputation. Continuing under Marina & family's management, their philosophy blends tradition with innovation, producing wines that authentically reflect the Langhe and Roero regions.

Barbaresco Pajorè is the latest addition to the Estate's collection and is a true expression of a renowned cru in Treiso, one of the four villages in the Barbaresco DOCG region. Named after the farmhouse at the center of the vineyard, “Pajorè” is derived from the local dialect term for its former owner, Peirolero. The lime and clay-rich soils, though low in nutrients, produce small yields that result in fruit packed with complex aromas. This Barbaresco is intense and aromatic with floral hints of roses, subtle spice, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it opens fruity, followed by a dry, tannic structure with a long, rewarding finish.

Pair this with well-structured, game-based mains, and medium-mature cheeses.

Matías Riccitelli, born in the charming village of Cafayate, Salta, Argentina, where wine is deeply woven into the culture, embarked on a journey as a winemaker after training at one of the country’s most renowned wineries. A passionate traveler and dreamer, Matías honed his craft through global harvests, gaining invaluable experience along the way. In 2009, combining his extensive knowledge with the guidance of his father and mentor, Jorge Riccitelli, he founded Riccitelli Wines. Located in Las Compuertas, at 1,100 meters above sea level in Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, the winery embodies Matías' vision of crafting exceptional wines from Argentina’s high-altitude terroirs.

Riccitelli & Father was born from the collaboration between Matías and his father, Jorge Riccitelli, with the shared vision of elevating Malbec from old vineyards in traditional regions, while harnessing the unique intensity that Cabernet Franc develops in their mountain soils.

This wine is a fine example of elegance and depth, offering a striking aromatic intensity. The core of dark, ripe black fruit is beautifully complemented by hints of liquorice, spice, and floral notes. On the palate, it is remarkably balanced and smooth, with firm yet graceful tannins that enhance its complexity. The wine displays a captivating personality and finishes with incredible length, leaving a lasting impression.

The bold flavours of this blend will work well with grilled & roasted cuisine - pour a glass alongside delicious roasted veggie Lasagna.
