Crafted from grapes in the sunny Pajorè vineyard near Barbaresco, this Nebbiolo is a vibrant ruby-red with a touch of orange. With charming violet and spice aromas, it offers a velvety finish after aging in French oak barrels and a dark cellar.

In 1977, three brothers established Bel Colle in Verduno, on Barolo DOCG's northwest edge. Purchased in 2015 by Luca Bosio, a third-generation winemaker, the prestigious property is renowned for single vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines, celebrated for their delicate, elegant, spicy, and floral character. Outstanding examples include the 50-year-old vine Barolo Monvigliero DOCG and the delicate, elegant Barbaresco Pajorè from a prized 2.5-acre, south-facing single vineyard in Barbaresco village.

Heady aromas of new leather, wild berry and iris mingle with orange zest and dark spice on this compelling red. The full-bodied, elegant palate shows class and intensity, delivering juicy Morello cherry, strawberry compote and the same orange slice and star anise notes from the nose accompanied by taut, fine-grained tannins. It's got great energy and nervous, youthful tension that will allow this to age for years.
