Tasting through the recent output from Paolo Scavino with Elisa Scavino is always a real delight. Each wine truly had something unique to say. Since the fruit from the family's 20 different vineyards is all vinified identically, you can really get an idea of what's going on in a particular vintage in Barolo by tasting through these site-specific bottlings.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 96
"A new wine in this range, the 2020 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione takes the place of the Carobric, which was a blend of sites for which the Scavinos lost their lease. That may have turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the Rocche di Castiglione is off the charts. Silky, aromatic and pliant, with striking textural depth, the 2020 is immediately captivating. The purity of flavors is just breathtaking. What a wine!" -Vinous

"Castiglione Falletto. Lustrous mid ruby. Savoury-sweet red fruit on the nose of great depth. Lots of fresh raspberry and firm tannins that could do with a bit more stuffing to counteract them. Perhaps further bottle age will do the trick."
