Barolo, Bricco Ambrogio [Library Release 2026], 2002

Medium ruby. One of the few bright spots of the vintage, Scavino's 2002 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio offers nuances of flowers, herbs, minerals, toasted oak and sweet red fruit on a somewhat compact, medium-bodied frame. It displays notable balance in the context of the vintage, and should drink well to at least age 15. This is the first wine Scavino has produced from his newly acquired parcel in the town of Roddi, and it will be interesting to see what the wines from more normal vintages will be like.
