2017 Paolo Scavino Barolo Bricco Ambrogio DOCG

95 POINTS

James Suckling

Dried-berry and plum aromas with some toffee and cedar character on the nose, following through to a medium to full body. It’s very linear and structured with lots going on. Wonderful length and intensity. Give it time to open. Try after 2023.

Monica Larner - Wine Advocate

From the village of Roddi, the Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio shows a sweet quality of fruit, with candied cherry and summer peach. Those fruity tones are framed by elegant notes of smoke, tar and hazelnut cream. This wine shows a loosely knit texture with soft tannic integration and a very accessible style that sets this bottle up for near and medium-term drinking.

Wine Spectator

Incisive aromas of rose, cherry, menthol, tar and eucalyptus mark this harmonious red, which is lively and defined, with savory elements playing out on the dusty finish. Best from 2025 through 2042. 617 cases made, 75 cases imported.

The 2017 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is laced with succulent black cherry, mocha, licorice, dark spice and lavender. The Bricco Ambrogio is usually a bit juicier, while the 2017 is decidedly on the lighter side.
