Giovanni Canonica started making wine in 1983 by crushing grapes with his feet and avoiding sulfur—decades before natural winemaking became a movement. For years, his wines weren't commercially sold; only in 2000 did growing interest bring them to market. From just 1.5 hectares of the Paiagallo vineyard directly above the village of Barolo—an east-facing site that borders the legendary Cannubi—Canonica produces Nebbiolo of authentic, unvarnished character. No herbicides, no pesticides, hand-destemmed, indigenous yeast fermentation for thirty to forty days, vertical hand press, aging in cement and Slavonian oak. The 2011 offers dark berry and herbal complexity with ripe tannins and a medium-bodied frame that reflects Paiagallo's younger soils and more ethereal Barolo style.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 94
"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." -Antonio Galloni
