PAOLO SCAVINO BAROLO RAVERA 750 ml

Description

Discover the Paolo Scavino Barolo Ravera, a Nebbiolo red wine that captures the soul of Piedmont's storied landscapes. This expression hails from a family legacy that began in 1921, when Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo set down roots in Castiglione Falletto. Today, fourth-generation steward Enrico Scavino guides the estate alongside daughters Enrica and Elisa, channeling decades of dedication into every bottle.

Across 30 hectares in the heart of Barolo, spanning villages like Castiglione Falletto, Barolo, La Morra, Novello, Serralunga d’Alba, Verduno, Roddi, and Monforte d’Alba, the Scavinos nurture their Nebbiolo vines with unwavering care. Their hands-on philosophy in the fields and cellar honors each parcel's distinct voice, letting the land speak through the glass.

Pour a brilliant ruby hue that shifts toward garnet, and let the aromas unfold—rose hip and violet mingle with iodate whispers, hints of ash and tobacco, ripe white peaches, red cherries, and a balsamic lift like fresh mint. It surges on the palate with vibrant energy, balancing freshness and finesse. Sharp acidity cuts through, while tannins deliver poised tension within a harmonious frame.

James Suckling praises its compact focus, weaving red berries, dried porcini, and floral brightness into a medium-bodied profile with firm yet light tannins that stay enticing and fresh. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate highlights the tart cherry prominence alongside white pepper, salty limestone, and crushed earth, all wrapped in subtle texture and silky tannins of medium weight. Wine Spectator celebrates the racy drive of tart cherry, currant, menthol, and wild herbs, underpinned by vibrant structure, fine intensity, and a lingering mineral close.

From Italy's Piedmont region, this 750 ml bottle at 14.50% ABV offers dry sweetness, inviting you to explore its depth. Whether pairing with robust dishes or savoring solo, the Paolo Scavino Barolo Ravera promises a journey through Nebbiolo's elegant power. Elevate your collection with this gem, ready to impress at gatherings or quiet evenings.
