The 2020 Paolo Scavino Barolo Riserva ‘Bric dël Fiasc’ DOCG Magnum (1500ml) is a profound single-vineyard Barolo from one of Castiglione Falletto’s most celebrated crus. Produced exclusively from Nebbiolo grown in the historic Bric dël Fiasc vineyard, this Riserva represents the depth, precision and longevity that have made Paolo Scavino one of Piedmont’s benchmark producers. The magnum format allows for slower maturation, making it particularly attractive for collectors and long-term cellaring.
On the palate, it is powerful yet remarkably refined, with layers of black cherry, raspberry and plum framed by notes of violet, rose petal, orange zest, liquorice and graphite. The wine carries impressive concentration, supported by firm, finely structured tannins and vibrant acidity. Hints of dried herbs, earth, spice and mineral complexity emerge with time in the glass, leading to a long, persistent finish that showcases both elegance and intensity.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional choice for serious Barolo collectors and lovers of age-worthy Italian reds. The combination of grand cru vineyard pedigree, Riserva-level complexity and magnum presentation makes it a standout cellar addition. While approachable with extended decanting, this wine is built for the long term and will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 20–25 years. Pair with braised beef, truffle dishes, slow-cooked lamb, venison or aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
