The 2021 Paolo Scavino Barolo DOCG Half Bottle (375mL) is a vibrant and youthful expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most respected producers, presented in a convenient half-bottle format ideal for earlier drinking or smaller occasions. Sourced from a blend of prime vineyard sites across the Barolo region, it showcases Scavino’s modern, polished style with clarity and balance. The nose is fresh and lifted, offering red cherry, raspberry and rose petals, layered with hints of spice, liquorice and subtle earthiness.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity, delivering pure red fruit, savoury notes and well-integrated oak. The finish is structured, persistent and elegantly dry.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for those looking to explore a younger Barolo with approachability and finesse. Best enjoyed with some decanting or cellared for 6–10 years. Ideal with braised meats, pasta with truffle or aged cheeses.
