PAOLO SCAVINO Barolo Monvigliero, Piedmont

Fragrant, expressive and characterful with distinct floral and spicy nuances, Monvigliero displays both huge structure and delicacy.

Region Barolo DOCG

Barolo is a red Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) wine produced in the northern Italian region of Piedmont. It is made from the Nebbiolo grape and is considered one of Italy's greatest wines. Some would say it is pre-eminent. Five townships (Barolo, La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Monforte d'Alba and Serralunga d'Alba) account for roughly 90% of Barolo production. The entire appellation consists of 11 townships, 2000ha of vineyards and 700 wineries that produced 13 million bottles in 2015, of which some 80% was exported. The other townships of Barolo are Cherasco, Diano d'Alba, Grinzane Cavour, Novello, Roddi and Verduno. Although production codes have always stipulated that vineyards must be located on hillsides, the most recent revision of the production code released in 2010 goes further, categorically excluding valley floors, humid and flat areas, areas without sufficient sunlight, and areas with full-on northern exposures. Barolo is often described as having

Barolo is often described as having the aromas of tar and roses, and the wines are noted for their ability to age. They usually take on a rust red tinge as they mature. Barolo must be aged for at least 38 months after the harvest before release, of which at least 18 months must be in wood. When subjected to aging of at least five years before release, the wine can be labeled Riserva. In the past, Barolos tended to be high in tannin, taking 10 years or more to soften and become ready for drinking. Beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, a new generation of winemakers have developed a ‘modern’ style of Barolo based on improved viticulture and grape quality, less extractive winemaking and new approaches to oak maturation. The entrenched views of both the ‘modernists’ and ‘traditionalists’ have moderated over time, with the result that today the overall quality of Barolo is undoubtedly the best it has ever been. Barolo and neighbouring Barbaresco form part of the recently created UNESCO World Heritage site, Vineyard Landscape of Piedmont: Langhe-Roero and Monferrato; testament to the stunning beauty of their viticultural landscapes.

Winery PAOLO SCAVINO

The estate of Paolo Scavino is set amongst the picturesque rolling hills of Langhe in the tiny commune of Castiglione Falletto. Established in 1921 by Lorenzo Scavino and son Paolo, the family-owned estate is now led by third generation vigneron Enrico Scavino and his daughters Enrica and Elisa. Enrico Scavino is famous for being the very first producer in Barolo to conceive and create a single vineyard cru, the renowned Bric del Fisac in 1978. The Scavino family now has grand cru vineyard holdings in six of the 11 different villages of Barolo, Enrico Scavino's pioneering vision, devotion to single vineyard expression together and fierce commitment to quality is what sets this estate apart from other Barolo producers.
