Paolo Scavino – Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata Riserva – 2016

One of the most important Cru of the whole Barolo area, it has always been considered as one of the emblems for a wine of sporadic refinement because of its well exposed soils, as witnessed by the great estates with vineyards inside of it. Located in the commune of La Morra, Scavino family bought a plot in 1990 with vineyards planted at the beginning of the millennium and having a fantastic south-eastern exposure on sandy soils rich in silt and limestone. Grapes are selected by hand and vinified with submerged cap in steel tanks at controlled temperature with indigenous yeasts before being aged in wood. Refinement is done in new and used barriques for the first 10 months, followed by 24 months in large casks after which it is refined for 10 months in steel tanks and stabilized for 20 months in bottle. Considered by Enrico Scavino as the most complex of the production, with few bottles produced only in the Riserva version, and moreover in excellent vintages such as 2016, it is pure symphony with red fruit aromas evolving into spicy notes, sublime elegance but with a fascinating power given by silky tannins for a finish of total freshness.

Description

Among the most renowned names at international level for the production of the historic Barolo wine, Paolo Scavino could not be missing. The winery was founded in 1921, in Castiglione Falletto, by Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo who started cultivating the famous local varieties such as Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo. But it is with Enrico Scavino’s arrival that the valorization of Nebbiolo began, differentiating the areas where it was noticed the higher quality of the grape by purchasing plots in other communes of the Barolo area, in the most suited Cru such as Monvigliero, Cannubi, Bussia, Rocche dell’Annunziata. Since 1978, it was decided to vinify separately the Cru, where Bric del Fiasc became the first single vineyard of the winery as the soils composed by sand and fossil marl, called Tov, were the most valuable grapes. Today with 32 hectares divided in 8 communes, it is possible to breathe a tradition handed down in the vineyards for decades, arrived at the 4th generation with the idea of a viticulture superior to enology, of a devotion towards work with the purpose of reaching the interpretation and the purity of the territorial essence. Committed to a production of absolute quality, the use of chemical elements in the environment and the work in the cellar, where the use of mainly barriques in the vinification have made it a pioneer of this style. Care and Passion are the pillars of one of the most renowned and inspired realities of the Piedmontese enological scene.
