Paolo Scavino Barolo "Monvigliero" '20

The 2020 Paolo Scavino Barolo Monvigliero hails from Verduno’s most celebrated cru, a vineyard revered for producing some of the most elegant and nuanced expressions of Nebbiolo. Known for its fine white marl soils and cool breezes from the Tanaro River, Monvigliero delivers a wine of striking perfume and finesse, and Scavino’s bottling captures this beautifully. The 2020 shows lifted aromatics of red cherry, rose petal, sweet herbs, and delicate spice, with a silky, almost Burgundian texture on the palate. Tannins are polished and precise, framing layers of fruit and minerality with an energy that promises both early accessibility and graceful aging potential. A benchmark single-vineyard Barolo from one of the region’s most respected estates.
