Giovanni Canonica
About Giovanni Canonica
Giovanni Canonica is a hidden legend in the town of Barolo. For many years, Giovanni only produced from 1.5 hectares of vines in the Paiagallo vineyard directly on the hill above the village of Barolo. In the early 2010s, Giovanni inherited a small amount of vines in the sector of Grinzane Cavour, and the vines that produce the Barolo there are over 50 years old. Canonica is known on the more traditional end of the Piemonte spectrum.

Vinous (92)My initial thought was to focus on the 2013 vintage for this flight, but the Bartolo Mascarello is so young, I chose the 2012 instead. Canonica’s 2013 Barolo Paiagallo is another very pretty, translucent, classically built wine. Next to the other wines on the table, the Paiagallo comes across as a bit diffuse, with its aromatics, fruit and structure each in their own space and not woven together into a cohesive whole. The 2013 is still a delicious Barolo, but on this night, well, there are a lot of fabulous wines in the tasting. |

Vinous (94)Canonica's 2017 Barolo Paiagallo is an exotic, utterly beguiling wine. Crushed red berry, blood orange, mint, rose petal and cinnamon give this effusive, mid-weight Barolo its exotic, alluring personality. There's plenty of tannin lurking beneath. A few years of cellaring are advisable. This flamboyant, attractive Barolo is pretty impossible to resist now, though. Canonica works out of a tiny cellar in the historic center of Barolo that has just enough space for the barest essentials. The wines are always unique and idiosyncratic. |

Vinous (93)The 2018 Barolo Paiagallo is laced with kirsch, sweet spice, new leather, menthol and rose petal. Exotic and super-ripe, the 2018 shows all the warmth of the year in its sweet fruit and pronounced alcohol, but avoids the angular contours that afflict so many wines. Even with all of that richness, the 2018 retains a good bit of freshness and energy. An opened bottle was still vibrant after a number of days whereas many other wines in the same tasting faded far faster. The 2018 is a very fine effort from one of Barolo's artisan growers, but readers have to be willing to accept elevated ripeness and alcohol. |

Vinous (94)The 2020 Barolo Paiagallo is deep, fleshy and imposing, with terrific balance and notable palate presence. Macerated cherry, rose petal, blood orange and chalk are all beautifully delineated. The 2020 offers gorgeous depth and tons of pure energy to match. My only quibble is with its slightly elevated alcohol. Creamy, silky tannins wrap it all together in style. This is a fine effort from one of the most reclusive growers in Barolo. |
