Paolo Scavino Langhe Nebbiolo 2013


Paolo Scavino

Paolo Scavino is an historical winery in the Barolo region. It was founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto from Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo. Farming has always been a family tradition and passion.
Enrico Scavino together with the daughters Enrica and Elisa, fourth generation, run the family Estate. He started to work full time in the winery in 1951 when he was 10 years old. A young winemaker who inherited the passion and devotion for the land he belongs to. Through over 60 years of experience his focus has been to invest on important cru of Nebbiolo to show the uniqueness of each terroir.
Their work is inspired by the love and respect they have for their territory and they pursued purity of expression, complexity and elegance for their wines from the three local grapes Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo.

Langhe Nebbiolo is 100% Nebbiolo grapes coming from sites which enhance the more ethereal Nebbiolo aromatics and structure.

"Scavino's 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo is a juicy, fruit-forward wine to drink for supple personality and overall near-term appeal. Hints of tobacco, dried cherry and wild flowers add shades of nuance on the close."
