Description
Paolo Scavino, an Italian winery of unprecedented class, produced this fantastic Barolo Bric del Fiasc. In the Fiasc vineyard, the Tortonian and Helvetian soils (white-gray limestone and yellow-gray sandstone) intersect and combine great finesse and power. The vineyard is seen as one of the most complex terroirs, probably due to its central position in the Barolo region. This Bric del Fiasc Barolo fully represents the classic expression of the Nebbiolo that needs time to develop all its complexity. This powerful, juicy and muscular wine full of complexity has a beautiful deep red color and strong wood tones. Characteristic of this Barolo is the texture: earthy impressions, density of fruit, lively and refined tannins. Beautiful structure supported by a pleasant acidity. Complex, mineral and balsamic on the nose with the typical notes of small red fruits (cherry, blackberries) and licorice. This wine goes well with red meat (grilled/roasted), lamb, fur game and cheeses that have a rich and strong taste.
2016 is without a doubt one of the best years. The scores also indicate this. Decanting in his younger years.
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you pick up the wine you will often receive a nice discount . You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Collect' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht almost next to the A16 with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

Drawing its fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the Paolo Scavino 2016 Barolo Bric dël Fiasc shows dimension, depth, precision and power. The wine opens to a dark garnet color with a saturated hue, leading to a full, all-encompassing bouquet. The Barolo Bric dël Fiasc is often the most representative wine in the Scavino portfolio, and never has this been more true than in this classic vintage. Dark fruit, licorice, spice and ferrous earth build a fluid and multifaceted bouquet. The mouthfeel sits firm and tight on the palate today, promising to evolve and soften tomorrow. This is a bottle for your cellar.

Very aromatic with roses, strawberries and some cherry blossom, too. Medium to full body and firm, silky tannins with finesse and intensity at the same time. Try after 2022.

From: 2016 Barolo: Right Place, Right Time (Feb 2020)
The 2016 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is a powerful, muscular wine. Youthfully austere and tannic, the 2016 is going to need a number of years to come around, but it is magnificent, even in the early going. Layers of building tannins enshroud a core of dark Nebbiolo fruit, with hints of dried herbs, iron, leather and sweet tobacco that develop with a bit of coaxing. As always, Bric del Fiasc has a feral intensity to it. The 2016 is an especially fine edition and also a terrific example of the style of this Castiglione Falletto site.
- By Antonio Galloni on June 2020
This is an absolutely fabulous collection of Barolos from the Scavino family. In recent years, the Scavinos have expanded their enviable portfolio of holdings with acquisitions in Monvigliero, Ravera and Prapò, along with other parcels that currently are not bottled separately, but used for the straight Barolo. Two thousand sixteen is the first vintage in which oak vats were introduced for fermentation. The Ravera, in which one of two fermentation vats was oak, provides some clues as to what that might hold for the future. Most of the Barolos are aged in a combination of small and large oak, a choice driven largely by practical considerations of managing volume, but those aged in cask have a degree of transparency that is really exciting, especially given the quality of these vineyards in an exceptional vintage. Scavino fans can also look forward to a Riserva along the lines of the 2011 Barolo Riserva Novantesimo as well as a Riserva from Rocche dell'Annunziata. After a few years of some inconsistency, the 2016s suggest Scavino is back big time. These Barolos are compelling.

Paolo Scavino winery is a historic winery in the Italian region of Barolo. It was founded in Castiglione Falletto in 1921 by Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo. Agriculture has always been a family tradition and passion of the Scavino family.
Now Enrico Scavino runs the family domain together with his daughters Enrica and Elisa, the 4th generation. He already worked in the winery in 1951 when he was only 10 years old. A young winemaker who has inherited the passion and dedication of his country. Through more than 60 years of experience, his focus has been on investing in Nebbiolo's major cru to demonstrate the uniqueness of each terroir. The working method of this beautiful winery is inspired by the love and respect they have for their terroirs. Their pursuit of purity of expression, complexity and elegance for their wines is also a great source of inspiration. The winery works with the 3 local grapes Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo.
Paolo Scavino winery owns 29 hectares in the Barolo area, and works on 20 historic Barolo crus in Castiglione Falletto, Barolo, La Morra, Novello, Serralunga d'Alba, Verduno and Roddi. The Scavino family stands out for their meticulous care of the vineyards and their passion for the terroir. They focus on the care of the vines in order to grow ripe and healthy grapes. When making the wine, minimal interventions are pursued to preserve the natural diversity of the terroir.
