Azelia – Barolo Riserva Voghera Brea – 2001

The real jewel of the production is depicted by this label, a rare example of Barolo produced only when the vintages are unforgettable. Until 2004, the reserve was produced from the Bricco Voghera and Brea crus, two micro pieces of vineyard bordered by vines about 75-90 years old located in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba. Thanks to extremely low yields, compact soils rich in tuff limestone, here we will find a Barolo with ample structure and an almost unparalleled evolutionary capacity. It is no coincidence that Azelia for these two parcels has decided to carry out a winemaking with a Riserva mention, where the wine rests for 10 years in the cellar before being put on the market. An out-of-category wine. After more than 20 years the wine has important color, density, integrity.

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.
