Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Dark ruby red colour. Very rich aromas of wild berry, plum and mushroom turning to grilled meat. Full-bodied, with super velvety tannins and wonderful ripe fruit on the palate that gives you a strawberry, cherry and vanilla aftertaste. Long and complex. Youthful.

• Vinous: Both of the Scavino Barolos I taste happen to be debuts. A total revelation, the 1985 Barolo Cannubi is off the charts. Enrico Scavino is always a bit reluctant to share the location of the parcel he rents in Cannubi, and with good reason, as it is one of the finest. Scavino’s 1985 Cannubi remains translucent, nuanced and breathtakingly beautiful as it showcases all of the pedigree and finesse Barolo lovers look for in this site in a style that bridges both modern and more traditional styles. Simply put, the 1985 Cannubi is a real head-turner.

Producer Information

Paolo Scavino is an estate in Barolo known for its polished, elegant red wines from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The estate owns 23 hectares (57 acres) entirely within Barolo with parcels in 19 different cru vineyards in all but three of the Barolo communes. The range of nine Barolo wines is led by the Bric Dël Fiasc (from the Fiasco cru in Castiglione Falletto, and produced in both standard and Riserva bottlings), the Cannubi, and the Riserva Rocche dell'Annunziata which is aged for an additional year both in large casks and in bottle, and is sourced from a cru vineyard in La Morra. The portfolio of red wines also includes a Langhe Nebbiolo, two Barbera d'Alba wines, a Dolcetto d'Alba, and a Vino Rosso blended from the younger vines grown on the estate. The Langhe Sorriso is Paulo Scavino's key white wine made from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.
