    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Paolo Scavino, Barolo, Riserva, 2016

    Quite a flighty, seductive nose. Glossy Scavino style with some crisp tannins and succulent red and dark fruit. Delicate floral, summer pudding, wild cherry and wild strawberry flavours. Sleek, bright polished and kinetic. Velvety and easy to drink. A Barolo ‘Classico’ that is a blend from seven single crus in the Barolo, Castiglione and Serralunga regions. Aged for one year in large oak ‘botti’ and one year in barriques with a maximum of 10 percent new wood.

    Maturity:
    Keep
    ABV:
    13%
    89/100

    The 2016 Barolo is supple, forward and easy to like. Sweet macerated cherry, mint, cinnamon and orange peel are nicely pushed forward in this racy, beautifully open-knit Barolo from the Scavino family. Drink it over the next handful of years. The 2016 is just lovely, and a real pleasure to drink.
