The 2021 Paolo Scavino Barolo “Bussia-Fantini” DOCG is a refined and site-expressive Nebbiolo from the renowned Bussia cru in Monforte d’Alba, highlighting the structure and depth typical of this historic area. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, the 2021 vintage showcases excellent balance, aromatic precision and strong ageing potential. The nose is complex and lifted, revealing red cherry, raspberry and rose petals, layered with notes of orange peel, spice, liquorice and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm, finely structured tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering pure red fruit, savoury depth and well-integrated oak. The finish is long, powerful and classically dry, with impressive persistence and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Barolo for those who enjoy a more structured, terroir-driven style from Bussia. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Enjoy with decanting or cellar for 12–18 years. Perfect with braised meats, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
