Paolo Scavino Description
Experience the refined elegance of Paolo Scavino's Barolo Bric del Fiasc, a classic expression of Nebbiolo from the renowned Fiasco vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. This single-vineyard Barolo showcases a harmonious blend of finesse and power, featuring complex notes of red fruits, licorice, and balsamic, wrapped in a rich texture with earthy, vibrant tannins.
The Paolo Scavino Barolo Bric del Fiasc reveals an intense and fragrant bouquet of rose, iris, red berry, and baking spice. On the palate, discover a structured and elegant profile with flavors of sour cherry, raspberry, white pepper, aromatic herb, and licorice. This wine is characterized by its youthful, firm tannins, intense minerality, and hints of white pepper and plums. The vibrant acidity and full body result in a long, gripping finish that promises to develop further complexity with time.
The bold and sophisticated Barolo Bric del Fiasc is a perfect match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, truffle-infused risotto, or slow-roasted lamb. The wine's acidity and tannins also make it an excellent companion for aged cheeses and charcuterie. Allow this wine to open up for three to four years before enjoying its full potential, and savor the intricate flavors as they evolve on your palate.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
.The 2009 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is also a mild-mannered wine, but it seems to have fared the summer heat with a higher degree of success. Pleasing tones of underbrush, wild berry, white truffle and licorice back its dry, firmly polished tannins. The extra class and elegance on display are undeniable.
