Paolo Scavino, ‘Ravera’ Barolo 2017

Critics

“Wow. What incredible purity to this on the nose with blackberries and raspberries and dark wood, such as mahogany or bark. So perfumed, too. Full-bodied with such a solid core of tannins, yet they are layered and polished and come together nicely. A solid, fine wall of tannins, yet the wine is not aggressive. This is really top. Drink after 2024.” – 97 Points, James Suckling

“Showing resolve and determination, the Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Ravera (with fruit from Novello) offers more concentration and a much darker quality of fruit with blackberry and plum. Ravera gives us density and power and a generous display of dark spice with tobacco and toasted hazelnut. Despite that extra muscle and heft, I love how the tannins are so expertly integrated into the fruit.” – 95 Points, Monica Larner

The Scavino family distinguishes itself from the beginning by their scrupulous care of the vineyards and passion for the terroir. Their core belief is the supremacy of the viticulture above oenology, therefore the focus is the care of the vines in order to grow ripe and healthy grapes. In winemaking, minimal and equal intervention are sought, to preserve the natural diversities of the terroir.
