Overview

Paiagal is an exemplary Barbera d'Alba. It is named after the Paiagallo vineyard which lies just behind the winery in the town of Barolo. This full bodied Barbera captures the rich flavour characteristics of the grape varietal and is a very good wine value. It is also age worthy in the cellar for several years.
