Paolo Scavino Barbera d’Alba Affinato in Carati 2015

Red
Barolo, Italy
7.5
WineSaint

One of the most distinctive Barberas made in French oak, and the 2015 vintage shows exactly why. Deep and generous, black cherry, plum, lavender, a thread of mint and warm spice. The wood is fully absorbed, adding richness and texture without obscuring the variety's natural vivacity. Full-bodied yet nimble, with Barbera's signature bright acidity keeping the whole thing from tipping into excess. Drink now through 2026.

Paolo Scavino

A Castiglione Falletto estate synonymous with single-vineyard Barolo, Paolo Scavino built its reputation on Bric dël Fiasc before expanding across some of the Langhe's most sought-after crus. Now run by the second generation, the wines remain precise, structured, and worth seeking out.
