The Paolo Scavino Barolo DOCG 2020 is a prime example of the renowned wines from Piedmont, Italy. This vintage, produced by the skilled hands of Paolo Scavino himself, is a true testament to the terroir and tradition of the region. On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, dried herbs, and tobacco mingle with hints of licorice and leather. The deep garnet hue hints at the intensity of this wine, while on the palate, it delivers with bold flavors of ripe plum, blackberry, and earthy notes of truffle and tobacco. The tannins are firm yet refined, giving structure to the wine's full body. This Barolo embodies the essence of Piedmont, with its complexity and elegance, and is sure to age gracefully for years to come.

A beautiful Barolo here with a touch of dried spices to the grapefruit citrus, minerals, camphor and dried flowers. Melted, chalky tannins on the palate with medium to full body and a long, mineral-driven finish. Lots of clarity and finesse here.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The Paolo Scavino 2020 Barolo (with Enrico Scavino’s signature on the front of the bottle) has a handful of savory herbs, barbecue rub, ripe plum, sweet cherry and dried currant. There are notes of aniseed, but otherwise, the wine is quite broad-brushed, thick or husky on the mid-palate. It ends with balanced freshness. The blend borrows fruit from Rocche Moriondino, Vignolo, Pernanno, Terlo, Albarella, Vignane, San Bernardo, Cerretta and Bussia Vigna Fantini. It ages in oak casks for 22 months, and 50,000 bottles were made.

Bright, light ruby red with hints of garnet. Delicate bouquet with aromas of fresh sour cherry, rose petal and a hint of graphite. Fresh fruit on the palate, opens up with beautiful tension, juicy and slightly salty on the lingering finish.

The 2020 Barolo is seriously beautiful. Pliant and creamy, with terrific depth, the 2020 impresses with its bold, open-knit personality. A burst of dark red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, mint and spice lend notable character to this decidedly exuberant Barolo from the Scavino family.
