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.

Critics reviews
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 - 2038
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.
