The Barolo Paiagallo Giovanni Canonica 2011 is a full-bodied cru Barolo from Piedmont. This vintage showcases aromas of dark berries, alongside herbal notes of rosemary and hints of tobacco. The palate presents a structured combination of red fruit, ripe tannins and a lingering finish. Giovanni Canonica is a highly respected, traditional producer in Barolo, known for his artisanal approach and extremely limited production. It maintains approximately 1.5 hectares of Nebbiolo vines within the Paiagallo cru, situated on the hill directly above the village of Barolo at an altitude of 300-400m. These mature vines, some of which are the rare Nebbiolo Rosé clone, contribute to the distinctive character of its Barolo.

Canonica's 2011 Barolo Paiagallo is a real knockout. A wine that embodies the ripe exoticism that makes this vintage so compelling, the Paiagallo simply has it all. Sweet, perfumed aromatics open into a core of sumptuous fruit. Black cherry, plum, sage menthol and licorice notes abound. The Paiagallo captures the very best of the year with its intriguing power, inner sweetness and superb balance. Readers who can find the 2011 should not hesitate, as it is terrific.
