Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Scavino’s 2010 Barolo Riserva Rocche dell’Annunziata stands out for its finesse, inner perfume and detail, all hallmarks of this great La Morra site. Freshly cut flowers, sweet red berries, mint and spices abound in a Barolo that is all about elegance. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2010 is a model of pure grace and sensuality. Sweet, silky tannins support the suave, textured finish.

• Wine & Spirits: Enrico Scavino ages his Barolos in mostly used French barriques for ten months and one year in large casks. Rocche dell’Annunziata spends almost a year longer in barrel, allowing the wine’s flavors to merge together in a harmonious entity. Scents of crushed rose petals and fresh cherries announce a wine that balances intensity and delicacy. Flavors of plum, licorice, tobacco and spice merge in the texture, woven seamlessly together by the wine’s silky tannins and smooth acidity. The flavors remain integrated all the way through the long, fragrant finish.

Producer Information

Paolo Scavino is an estate in Barolo known for its polished, elegant red wines from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The estate owns 23 hectares (57 acres) entirely within Barolo with parcels in 19 different cru vineyards in all but three of the Barolo communes. The range of nine Barolo wines is led by the Bric Dël Fiasc (from the Fiasco cru in Castiglione Falletto, and produced in both standard and Riserva bottlings), the Cannubi, and the Riserva Rocche dell’Annunziata which is aged for an additional year both in large casks and in bottle, and is sourced from a cru vineyard in La Morra. The portfolio of red wines also includes a Langhe Nebbiolo, two Barbera d’Alba wines, a Dolcetto d’Alba, and a Vino Rosso blended from the younger vines grown on the estate. The Langhe Sorriso is Paulo Scavino’s key white wine made from Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier. The company was founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falleto by Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo. Enrico Scavino has been working in the winery since the age of ten, beginning in 1951. He now runs his estate with his daughters, who are the fourth generation.
