justerini & brooks tasting note

Luigi Scavino was fortunate enough to set up a contract for this stunning 50-year-old Serralunga vineyard from the 2000 vintage. This is a Riserva wine that will only be made in the best vintages, and what a debut! The palate is bursting with flavours, notes of aniseed, black cherry, cassis, cinnamon and liquorice. A serious, multi-layered and highly pleasurable wine aged in new and second year oak for three years, with two years’ bottle age. Stunning!

critic reviews

90/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2000 Barolo Riserva Voghera-Brea presents aromas of licorice, roses and tar. Deeply colored, it is a wine of notable concentration, with notes of dense sweet fruit, minerals and scorched earth, finishing with good persistence, although it lacks the multi-layered complexity of the 2001s. Like so many wines of the vintage it is drinking well today. 2000 is the first vintage of this wine, which is made from a newly acquired parcel of old vines in Serralunga. Azelia has also produced this Riserva in vintages 2001 and 2004.
