WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
This Barolo represents the history and tradition of blending different crus of Nebbiolo in order to create a house style. The same care and quality work are employed on this wine as for all of the cru Barolo. This wine is an opportunity for many clients to enjoy a great Barolo with an exceptional price quality ratio.
TASTING NOTES:
A beautiful Barolo here with a touch of dried spices to the grapefruit citrus, minerals, camphor and dried flowers. Melted, chalky tannins on the palate with medium to full body and a long, mineral-driven finish. Lots of clarity and finesse here.

The Paolo Scavino 2020 Barolo (with Enrico Scavino’s signature on the front of the bottle) has a handful of savory herbs, barbecue rub, ripe plum, sweet cherry and dried currant. There are notes of aniseed, but otherwise, the wine is quite broad-brushed, thick or husky on the mid-palate. It ends with balanced freshness. The blend borrows fruit from Rocche Moriondino, Vignolo, Pernanno, Terlo, Albarella, Vignane, San Bernardo, Cerretta and Bussia Vigna Fantini.
-Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 pts.
Youthful deep ruby in color, the 2020 Barolo is ripe and spicy with aromas of dried cherries, red berries, peppercorn, alpine herbs, and pressed flowers. Medium-bodied, it’s elegant and polished, with silky tannins, ripe fruit, clean lift, and a clean finish. Elegant all the way through, it handles its sunny feel with ease. It’s approachable for enjoying now or over the coming 8-10 years.
