The cellar is under his house, the barrels are big and old, and Giovanni Canonica has never seen much reason to change any of it. Long macerations, minimal sulfur, no filtration: his Barolos come out perfumed, nearly translucent and thrillingly alive, which is why traditionalists have been quietly buying them all up for years. Grinzane Cavour sits on the eastern edge of the zone, named for Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour, whose castle estate helped invent modern Barolo, and it tends to give a fleshier, more welcoming Nebbiolo than Canonica's flagship cru. 2022 was hot and dry across Piedmont, and in careful hands like these it produced generous, open wines with the perfume intact: sour cherry and rose lifted by tar, dried herbs and tobacco. This is the one to open while the 2021 sits in the dark. Decant it and give it an hour.

More about Giovanni Canonica

Hidden legend in Barolo, living in a small agriturismo above the village, making wine in cellars below. Started with 1.5 hectares in Paiagallo (vines on the hill above town), later inherited older vines in Grinzane Cavour with a rare rose clone of Nebbiolo. No herbicides, no pesticides, only tradition. Production is insanely limited.
