Paolo Scavino Barolo Monvigliero 2022

Meatier and more concentrated than Monvigliero typically shows, Scavino's 2022 brings genuine depth to a site more often associated with delicacy and lighter framing. Red cherry, dried blood orange, iron, cedar and scorched earth give it a decidedly muscular character, with a streak of cool mint threading through the finish. The structure is firm but not aggressive, tannins are present and grippy without overwhelming the fruit. Give it a year or two to settle before pulling a cork.
