This is a blend of the fruit from younger vines that doesn't make it to their Cannubi, Ravera, Bric del Fiasc, or other single vineyards. This bottling is still a grippy glass of wine, but much more approachable right now than the big brother Barolos.
Juicy fresh red cherries and tarragon, vine ripe heirloom tomato, roasted almond, and dried strawberry. A pleasure to drink now with a decant, but with the stuffing to last another decade.
Vivid aromas of red berries and roses follow though to a medium-bodied palate, where fine tannins provide a lightly firm bed for fresh fruit. The lighter, brighter style of this is true to the character of the vintage, but here it’s been well-handled. All in balance.
The Paolo Scavino 2018 Barolo is a pretty wine with sweet primary intensity that appears as tart cherry and dried raspberry. With Enrico Scavino's signature on the front label, this is a classic package with silky tannins and a long, polished mouthfeel. Fruit comes from multiple vineyard sites across the appellation.
