Paolo Scavino is a historical winery in the Barolo region. It was founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto from Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo. Farming has always been a family tradition and passion. Enrico Scavino together with the daughters Enrica and Elisa, fourth generation, run the family Estate. He started to work full time in the winery in 1951 when he was 10 years old. A young winemaker who inherited the passion and devotion for the land he belongs to. Through over 60 years of experience his focus has been to invest on important cru of Nebbiolo to show the uniqueness of each terroir. Their work is inspired by the love and respect they have for their territory and they pursue purity of expression, complexity and elegance for their wines from the three local grapes Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo.
Their Dolcetto is made from 70-year-old vines in Marne di Sant’Agata soils (a type of calcareous clay). Stainless steel fermentation. Only 950 cases are produced annually! Fresh and delicate aromatics of cherry, blueberry, spices and flowers. Light, bright, with pleasing tannins and harmonious acidity.
