2020 Barolo, Paiagallo, Mauro Veglio, Piedmont, Italy

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

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)

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)

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.
