Paolo Scavino Langhe Nebbiolo 2018
Montforte d'Alba, Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyLanghe Nebbiolo is more approachable than its big brother Barolo, and it's cheaper, so when its quality is as meticulously cared for as Barolo, it is easy to fall in love with. The colour is Barolo orange-red, the nose both delicate and fragrant with the depth and complexity you associate with Barolo. Scavino employs a cool fermentation and a rest in stainless steel and neutral oak to help to retain maximum freshness for ten months. Today, Enrico Scavino and the daughters Enrica and Elisa, the fourth generation, run the family estate, and the wines have never been better. It is mostly high quality, declassified Barolo you can buy for a lot less money.Tasted: 18 October 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $38.95 | 750ml | select private retailers |
