Barolo DOCG Paiagallo

Paiagallo is one of the most historic vineyards in the municipality of Barolo. Thanks to the soils rich in sandy marl and 30-year-old plants, it is a Barolo with great energy and structure, but wrapped in a pleasant, delicate sensation, with heady aromas and sweet tannins. In the mouth are perceived aromas of dried cherry, nut and citrus peel, with a spicy aftertaste. Full bodied with slightly firm tannins and a long, balanced finish.
