Paolo Scavino "Cannubi" Barolo 2018

96 Points Wine & Spirits

The Scavino family has been producing a wine from a 1.36- acre rented plot in Cannubi since 1985, but, according to Elisa Scavino, their contract ended in 2018. If this is indeed the last vintage, the wine ends on a high note. Scavino’s 2018 Cannubi offers a core of richly concentrated dark cherry couched in a smooth, seamless texture. Hints of licorice, sage and menthol enliven the dark fruit tones, and the wine finishes on a bright orange-peel note.
