Paolo Scavino, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2008

Aug 20, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This is a very serious wine showing deep, dark color and excellent concentration, both of which seem to indicate admirably low crop yields.  Although it is already very expressive and deep in flavor, the fruit shows some restraint as well, with fine freshness and purity suggesting that the fruit was picked when perfectly ripe.  Oak is present but already quite well integrated, and in overall terms this is a complete and very, very well made wine.
