94/100 - Ripe cherries and blueberries with dried citrus peel, spices and hints of tar on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, meaty and structured with very approachable, fine tannins. Round and velvety finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Better from 2027.

93/100 - Coming from a warmer microclimate and sandy soils, the 2020 Barolo Paiagallo La Villa is bright and spicy on the nose with notes of anise, dried cherries, orange peel, and dusty earth. The palate is focused, with a light sanguine feel, fine tannins, and a bright vertical feel through the finish. Drink this elegant and savory Barolo over the coming 10-15 years.
