Scavino - Barolo Bric del Fiasc - Riserva 2008

Paolo Scavino – Barolo Bric del Fiasc – Riserva 2008

From the vineyard-image of the winery is being produced one of the wines which best expresses Enrico Scavino’s idea and bet about the quality of grapes coming from this hill. We are located in the Fiasco sub-area, near Castiglione Falletto, where grapes come from the oldest vineyards having an average age of 30 years with a south-eastern exposure from which are produced wines for the Riserva version having an impressive character. After harvesting Nebbiolo, maceration and fermentation are done in steel tanks at controlled temperature with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged in new and used barriques for the first 10 months, followed by 24 months in large casks after which it is aged for further 10 months in steel tanks and 33 months in bottle. Despite the fact that 2008 was a great vintage with only 2500 bottles produced, we have a Barolo rich and explosive in aromas, which despite still needing time to express themselves at their best, has good softness given by the abundant tannins and an attractive austerity. What better tribute for the 30th anniversary of Bric del Fiasc.

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 since 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 reality of Piedmontese enology.
