Description
Paiagallo is an important Additional Geographical Mention in the commune of Barolo, with a total surface area of 12.35 hectares. On the eastern side of the commune of Barolo, this MGA is distinguished by its gentle, rounded shapes. Here, on marly sandy soils, our vineyard develops, with south-eastern exposure. The pedoclimatic characteristics found in this area lay the foundations for wines of great structure and aromatic intensity and marked elegance.

During the summer, after working in the fields he would travel to the market in Canale, where he sold the few peaches his orchards produced. Angelo had a dream: leave the life of a sharecropper and working in agriculture to dedicate himself to making wine; and purchase vineyards and bottle wine under his name, using native Langhe grapes—above all, nebbiolo, in which he had the foresight to recognize quality and potential.
Today, our winery produces 80 thousand bottles from about 14 hectares of vineyards distributed throughout La Morra and Monforte d’Alba. We believe in a balanced wine, respectful of the territory and the characteristics of its land of origins, fruit of an attentive work in the vineyard and just as much care taken in the cellars. We make four important cru (officially known as Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive) of Barolo: Arborina, Gattera, Rocche dell’Annunziata, and Castelletto. In addition to Barolo, we vinify other great reds of the Langhe: Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto d’Alba. Read more
