The 2018 Paolo Scavino Barolo Bricco Ambrogio DOCG is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the Roddi commune, known for producing a more approachable and elegant style of Barolo. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, this vintage highlights finesse and balance, shaped by a cooler growing season that favours aromatics and freshness over power. The nose is lifted and perfumed, showing red cherry, raspberry and rose petals, layered with notes of spice, orange peel, liquorice and subtle earthy undertones.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering bright red fruit, savoury complexity and well-integrated oak. The finish is long, fresh and refined, with a graceful, harmonious structure.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy a more elegant, aromatic Barolo with earlier approachability. Drink now with decanting or cellar for 8–12 years. Perfect with mushroom dishes, roasted meats or truffle-based cuisine.
