critic reviews

93/100Susan Hulme,The Wine Independent

The 2017 Paolo Scavino Barolo Carobric has a sweetly fragrant nose and feels very harmonious on the palate with a lovely silky texture and good concentration. It is translucent, dark ruby in color and medium-full bodied with lots of fine sandy-textured but grippy tannins on the finish. This wine feels firm but very refined too. Wait one to two years before starting to drink and 15 plus.

94/100Monica Larner,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

This wine is a historic blend of fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric del Fiasc. Because the Cannubi lease was not renewed, Carobric will be very different after the 2018 vintage. However, the Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Carobric delivers what we love about this wine. It opens to a medium garnet hue and soft fruit intensity. It exhibits wild cherry and dried raspberry, with spice, smoke and lightly roasted hazelnut.

95/100Antonio Galloni,Vinous

The 2017 Barolo Carobric is one of the standouts in this range, as it often is. It has an extra dimension of depth and volume that works so well here. Sweet red cherry, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, anise and brambly notes build as this striking, expressive Barolo shows off its considerable charm. What a pretty wine it is.
