    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Paolo Scavino, Barolo, Monvigliero, 2012

    Airy and fresh flavours, complex too. Notes of cassis, black cherry and blueberry tinged with a touch of liquorice; Long vital and fresh dark fruits, expanding into flavours of salt and stone. Verve, refinement and intense, this is utterly breath-taking. From a fine vineyard at 310 metres altitude in the Verduno commune with a south / south east exposure. A special micro climate close to the river where there are big day /night temperature differences. A very distinctive personality, powerful but polished, fresh and finely balanced. Only 5,000 bottles were made.

    The 2018 Paolo Scavino Barolo Monvigliero has a very appealing, perfumed nose with fragrant, floral notes focusing on blue flowers with notes of violet, iris and spice. There is a very crushed velvet, silky texture on the palate with some sweet cherry fruit and lots of fine, savory tannins. Very beautiful. Drink now to 20 years

    The 2018 Barolo Monvigliero is such a classy wine. Bright floral and spice notes lead into a core of sweet red cherry fruit in a nervy, beautifully focused Barolo that delivers the goods. All the elements are so well balanced. There is a touch of classical austerity, and yet the Monvigliero has just enough mid-palate pliancy and sweetness to pull it off.
