About this Item
Established in 1921, Paolo Scavino is a historical winery in Barolo and has been one of Langhe’s leading and most innovative producers since the beginning. Based in the heart of Barolo, in Castiglione Faletto, the vineyard parcels are found in the perfect terroir where the elegance of La Morra meets the power of Serralunga. With Burgundy as his guide, Enrico – the current custodian and fourth-generation winemaker – vinifies all the parcels separately by way of understanding his land. ‘The Scavino family (Enrico and his daughters Enrica and Elisa) carry forth an important family legacy,’ writes Wine Advocate, ‘with a wide range of cru-specific wines that brilliantly exhibit individual styles.’ Their work is inspired by their love and respect for their territory, pursuing complex, elegant and terroir-expressive wines.
Barolo is often referred to as the "king of wines" and is made from the Nebbiolo grape variety. It is renowned for its complexity, elegance, and ability to age gracefully over many years. The Barolo vineyards are situated in the Langhe hills, where the combination of soil, climate, and altitude creates ideal conditions for producing exceptional wines.

Critics Ratings
‘Attractive aromas of blackberries, cherries and grilled meat. Full-bodied, with big velvety tannins and a long, long, long finish. A gorgeous young wine. Scavino is a master of Barolo. Best after 2008.’ - Wine Spectator, 93/100
‘This is a superb set of 2001s. Scavino’s richly-colored 2001 Barolo is quite youthful and tannic. With some time in the glass, notes of spices and mint emerge, followed by a massive and dark palate of stewed fruits. It doesn’t quite have the length of the single-vineyard wines, but still offers excellent potential although it will need time to come together. Made from a blend of the Vignane and Via Nuova crus in Barolo and the Meriondino and Vignolo crus in Castiglione, this wine is usually one of the best relative values in Barolo.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate
