Despite the passing of Enrico Scavino in 2024, his daughters Elisa and Enrica have produced some of the very best wines of the vintage and the scores reflect that. They are exotic, muscular, focussing on black rather than red fruit, packed with energy and tension. True to site, these are wines that should be on all Barolo followers’ buy list.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant and boasting great intensity, the compelling 2021 Monvigliero from Paolo Scavino mesmerizes with aromas of wild rose, menthol, blood orange and dark spice. Firm and elegantly structured, the delicious palate delivers crunchy red cherry, strawberry compote, pink peppercorn and licorice before a minty close. Close-grained tannins provide support. What a gorgeous wine. Drink 2033-2046.
