Description
Paolo Scavino, an Italian winery of unparalleled class. The Barolo represents a selection of fruit from 7 separate vineyard plots spread across the main Barolo plots. The fruit from those sites is vinified separately and once each barrel is tasted, the final blend is created. Barrels of wine that do not meet the estate's quality standards are sold as bulk wine. The wine is aged for 10 months in barriques and then for a further 12 months in large "casks" and then a further 12 months in bottle. This is a beautiful wine that opens to cherry and blackberry aromas with elegant notes of crushed stone, smoke, licorice and tar. This is an excellent Barolo that is approachable in the short to medium term.
This wine goes well with red meat (grilled/roasted), lamb, fur game and cheeses that are rich and powerful in taste. The Nebbiolo grapes (the noble grape of Italy) that are used for this delicious wine are picked in early October. Fermentation follows later in stainless steel. The malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels and then a maturation of 12 months in French barriques. The wine then remains in large French oak barrels for another 12 months before bottling. Finally, 1 year of maturation follows in the bottle.
