Producer Notes
Canonica is as niche as you can get in Barolo. A miniscule number of bottles are produced each year from a small patch of vines in the Paiagallo vineyard located in the hills above Barolo and production is very traditional: foot-pressed grapes, wild yeasts, and long fermentation times. They offer a wonderful balance of elegance and rusticity with a purity of fruit and great acidity. In classic Barolo style they require a fair amount of time in bottle before they show their true character.
