The Canonica Giovanni 2020 Barolo DOCG Paiagallo is a wine that embodies the essence of the noble hills of the Langhe, a region renowned for its winemaking tradition and iconic wines. This Barolo is made from Nebbiolo grapes, an indigenous variety that, in its purest expression, offers unmistakable aromas and a robust structure. The 2020 harvest benefited from favorable climatic conditions, allowing for the production of fruit of extraordinary quality, with perfectly ripe and healthy clusters.
In the glass, the Paiagallo reveals a beautiful intense garnet color, hinting at aromatic complexity. The aromas unfold with scents of ripe cherry, plum, and floral notes of wilted rose, followed by earthy and spicy hints like black pepper and eucalyptus, which add depth and character. On the palate, the wine is elegant and structured, with well-defined tannins that harmonize with a vibrant freshness, offering a persistent and sublime finish.
This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich and flavorful dishes, such as braised beef in Barolo, taragna polenta, or aged cheeses. It is a wine for contemplation, perfect for enjoying during moments of reflection or at a special dinner. If left in the bottle for a few years, the Paiagallo will further refine itself, revealing new aromatic and flavor nuances. A true pride of the Piedmontese winemaking tradition, capable of telling the story of a unique territory.
