The 2019 Paolo Scavino Barolo DOCG Half Bottle (375mL) is a classic expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most respected producers, presented in a convenient half-bottle format ideal for shorter-term ageing or intimate occasions. Sourced from a blend of top vineyard sites across the Barolo region, it reflects the house style of precision, balance and modern elegance. The nose is lifted and aromatic, showing red cherry, raspberry and rose petals, layered with hints of spice, liquorice and earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm yet refined tannins and fresh acidity, delivering bright red fruit, savoury notes and subtle oak integration. The finish is structured, persistent and classically dry, with excellent balance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great entry point into Barolo, especially for those wanting to explore Nebbiolo without committing to a full bottle. Enjoy after some aeration or cellar for further development over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with braised meats, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses.
