Made from a vineyard in the town of Barolo, the 2001 Barolo Paiagallo Vigna La Villa is the most accessible of the house’s wines. A saturated ruby, it offers a nose of new oak, spices and very sweet fruit along with generous amounts of ripe dark fruit and cocoa, closing with excellent persistence and a gorgeous, lingering finish. It shows wonderful balance and harmony. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799.
