Description

This increasingly well-appreciated vineyard lies at the end of the Cannubi hill, on the western fringe of the town of Barolo. Alessandro rents two-thirds of a hectare in the San Sebastiano section, in the south-east corner of the 12.5 hectare vineyard. Although the soils seem similar to Arborina, the wine has a more heady, sensual feel. Raised only in botte, this feels more untamed than the other wines in this range, and makes a wonderful contrast.

James Suckling 93/100
Aromas of spiced cherries, small berries, dried flowers and mild spices. Medium body. Fine tannins. Juicy core of succulent red fruit at the center and a delicious, well-rounded finish.Try after 2026james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (February 2024)

Antonio Galloni 93/100
The 2020 Barolo Paiagallo is a silky, sensual Barolo that will drink well right out of the gate. Succulent red cherry, plum, rose petal, mint and sweet spice are pushed forward. This pliant, racy Barolo has a ton to offer. Best of all, it should drink well with minimal cellaring. White pepper, cedar and crushed flowers linger on the vibrant finish.Drink 2025 - 2038antonio_galloni, Vinous.com.com (November 2023)

About this wine

Nebbiolo

Nebbiolo is the grape behind the Barolo and Barbaresco wines and is hardly ever seen outside the confines of Piedmont. It takes its name from "nebbia" which is Italian for fog, a frequent phenomenon in the region.

Barolo

Barolo

Piedmont's most famous wine DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), Barolo is renowned for producing Italy's finest reds from 100 percent Nebbiolo. The Barolo appellation was formalised in 1966 at around 1,700 hectares, and has an exceptional terroir with almost every village perched on its own hill. The climate is continental, with an extended summer and autumn enabling the fickle Nebbiolo to achieve perfect ripeness.
