Excellent Roagna vertical tasting, Crichët Pajé going back to ultra rare 1988

A grand Roagna tasting in Oslo a few weeks back, some excellent wines, showing real finesse and details, and that one doesn't have to make big and high alcohol levels wines from Nebbiolo. One can focus on refinement and nuances instead. Lovely flight.
