{"product_id":"barbaresco-paje-produttori-del-barbaresco-1999","title":"Pajè Barbaresco Riserva 1999","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pajè Barbaresco Riserva 1999 is a classic red wine originating from the prestigious Piedmont region in northwestern Italy. Situated at the foot of the Alps, Piedmont is renowned for its dramatic, steep hills, particularly in the Langhe area, where autumn morning fog protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. This specific 1999 vintage is described as elegant and achieved a score of 92 points. It is produced exclusively from Nebbiolo, an Italian top grape known for providing great structure, which is widely cultivated in Barolo, Barbaresco, and throughout Piedmont.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine comes from Barbaresco, a renowned Nebbiolo area located east of Alba, with production centered around the key villages of Barbaresco, Neive, Treiso, and San Rocco Seno d’Elvio. It holds the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) Riserva classification. As noted by the producer, during the best harvests, a portion of the wine obtained from grapes grown in renowned localities within the center of the typical zone becomes a \"Riserva\" after reaching its fourth year of aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduttori del Barbaresco is one of the world's most respected wine cooperatives. While the modern iteration was founded in 1958 by local growers, its deeper history dates back to 1894 when Domizio Cavazza, the director of the local enological school, established the first cooperative in the area. Today, under the direction of Aldo Vacca since 1991, the cooperative consists of 51 members who collectively own 110 hectares. This land is planted entirely with Nebbiolo within the Barbaresco zone, representing a rare degree of specialization. A significant part of the cooperative's identity is the release of nine single-vineyard crus, including Pajè, which together illustrate the terroir mosaic of the appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis specific release from the Pajè vineyard highlights the viticulturists who tend the farms, specifically noting the proprietors Basso and Giordano. The wine is presented in a traditional Albeisa bottle, featuring an illustration of the original 1894 manifesto on the label. For this 1999 vintage, a total production of 11,610 bottles was made, bottled at 13.5% alcohol by volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Produttori del Barbaresco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57366390800710,"sku":null,"price":330.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1166_2486cd94-cd27-4704-9b20-1b44056c2419.jpg?v=1789388084","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/barbaresco-paje-produttori-del-barbaresco-1999","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
