CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Kerin O’Keefe - "Enticing scents of rose, violet, perfumed berry and spice permeate the glass on the fragrant and refined 2021 classic Barolo from Paolo Scavino. The beautiful aromas carry over to the elegantly structured, delicious palate along with succulent Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, cinnamon and mint. Taut, fine-grained tannins provide seamless support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced and vibrant. A fabulous showing, this will be even better in a few years. Drink 2028–2036."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "To be released in January 2025, the Paolo Scavino 2021 Barolo is bright and vivid, showing the focus and character of the vintage. This sample is still quite tight, and the tannins are firmly knit. However, the tannins are more elegant and silkier in the 2021 compared to 2020. I recommend giving this wine more time in bottle to allow it to fully flesh out."


Wine Spectator - "Lacy and elegant, yet with ample tannins for structure, featuring rose, strawberry, cherry and mineral aromas and flavors. Pure and focused, this red stays in the red fruit spectrum through the long finish. Shows excellent balance in its youthful way. Best from 2028 through 2045. 3,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported."


James Suckling - "Restrained and compact nose with vibrant violets and dried cherries, refreshed by pomegranate and oak bark. Full-bodied on the palate with a sold backbone of tannins that turn dusty and drier on the finish. Crisp acidity and an austere aftertaste. Try from 2027."
