Paolo Scavino “Monvigliero” Barolo 2018

Paolo Scavino is a long standing family winery in the Barolo region. It was founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto by Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo. Farming has always been a family tradition and passion. Today, Enrico Scavino together with his daughters Enrica and Elisa, fourth generation, run the family estate. He started to work full time in the winery in 1951 when he was 10 years old. A young winemaker who inherited the passion and devotion for the land he belongs to. Through over 60 years of experience his focus has been to invest on the important cru of Nebbiolo to show the uniqueness of each terroir. Their legendary vineyard holdings include Cannubi, Bric del Fiasc, Rocche dell’Annunziata, Monvigliero and others.

This Barolo comes from the homonymous vineyard of Monvigliero that can be properly considered the “grand cru” of Verduno village. This cru  offers great finesse and aromatic complexity, distinctly floral spicy, savory, balsamic in its expression. The nose is vivid and compound. The texture is focused. An extremely elegant cru, feminine and full of character.

While Barolo from 2018s harvest are not as classically structured and ageworthy as the 2017s and 2019s, their copious fruit and softer tannins make them a go-to for earlier enjoyment.
