Azelia – Barolo DOCG – 2018

For this Barolo are used the vineyards that rise between the towns of Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba, two towns so close, but completely different for the type of soil: in the former rich in sands giving finesse and aromas to the wine, in the latter, limestone and blue marl giving harder and more tannic wines. In this Barolo Classico this very peculiarity given by the two soils is denoted, giving a unique wine, rich in fruit and flower aromas, leaving a silky mouthfeel but with persistent tannins. This wine expresses all its classicism and austerity, perfect for drinking now but with great potential over time.

Description

A century-long history in Langa that of Azelia, a winery founded in 1920 in Castiglione Falletto by Cavalier Lorenzo Scavino when he began the first vinifications from the family vineyards. Beginning with his son Alfonso, bottling began for local sales, finding appreciation for the remarkable quality of the wines, but it was only in the 1990s that Luigi and Lorella Scavino along with then son Lorenzo took the brand to an international level. Continuing to be family-run with 5 generations succeeding each other, the winery now owns 16 hectares with a production of 85000 bottles annually and a superlative interpretation of Barolo that makes it an unfailing and sought-after pawn in any selection. Their vines have an average age of 70 years where the vineyards stand between the towns of Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba, two towns so close, but completely different in soil type: the former is rich in sands giving finesse and aromas to the wine, the latter has the presence of limestone and blue marls giving harder and more tannic wines. The wine is still made in the “old way,” very low yields with manual selection of berries, careful work in the vineyard with natural methods, long submerged cap macerations are adopted in the cellar to have a delicate extraction, aging in mainly Large barrels and maximum respect for time, the wines come out on the market only when they are ready. What is great can be seen in all these details.
