Paolo Scavino Barolo Bricco Ambrogio DOCG 2020
Volume: 750ml
Only single vineyard from Roddi village dedicated to Nebbiolo for Barolo production. Enrico Scavino recognized the quality of this undiscovered beautiful cru and decided to purchase it in 2001. By luck this cru was the only one of the estate untouched by the hail in 2002 and debuted as a solo showing lot of personality and potential even in such a difficult year. Almost a monopole. Bricco Ambrogio has an intense and multifaceted aromatic spectrum. The core is soft and polished through a beautiful acid-tannic balance. There is an underlying depth in this Barolo and the finish is long and nuanced.
