The 2017 Paolo Scavino Barolo Carobric DOCG is a unique and prestigious blend of three historic vineyard sites—Cannubi, Rocche di Castiglione and Bric dël Fiasc—crafted into a single, harmonious expression of Barolo. Made from 100% Nebbiolo, it reflects Scavino’s modern, precision-driven style while capturing the complexity and balance of multiple top crus, even in a warmer vintage. The nose is rich and layered, showing ripe red cherry, plum and rose petals, intertwined with notes of spice, liquorice, tobacco and subtle earthy nuances.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and balanced acidity, delivering ripe red fruit, savoury depth and well-integrated oak. The finish is long, smooth and elegant, with a rounded and approachable structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who want the depth of multiple Barolo crus in one bottle, offering both complexity and accessibility. Drinking well now with decanting and will continue to evolve over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with braised meats, pasta with ragù or aged cheeses.
