Paolo Scavino Barolo DOCG 2003
The Scavino wines show a consistent polish. There’s loads of black licorice to smell and the tannins, while definitely present, have some ripeness that soften the hard edges of this youthful wine. There’s also a fair bit of acid providing balance and length. This is all Nebbiolo, vinified in stainless and aged in oak for 2 years, 12 months of that time in French barriques. Estate bottled in Castiglione Falletto 14.5% $55 at Traverso’s
