Note di degustazione
Served to me from under the table – hors concours , so to speak. Spicier and denser than Cannubi. Very closed and compact palate, really reluctant, but fragrant fruit on the finish. Big wave of tannin but not rough. Lay down. (WS)

Verduno. Surprisingly deep ruby up to the rim with orange hints. Leafy notes. Elegant, concentred fruit and a good dose of boisterous tannin. Very, very young. (WS)
The 2008 Barolo Monvigliero flows from the glass with layers of silky, textured fruit. This is one of the more feminine wines in the Scavino lineup. Floral, minty notes develop in the glass, adding complexity, nuance and personality. The expression fruit is very Scavino, while the aromatics and structure are pure Monvigliero. This is another intriguing Barolo from Scavino.

This is another intriguing Barolo from Scavino. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028. There is always something new happening at Scavino, where Enrico Scavino, along with his daughters Enrica and Elisa, continues to push the envelope. This year the Scavinos have a new Riserva they are issuing to mark the 30th Anniversary of Bric del Fiasc, first released in 1978. The 2009s, 2010s and 2011s I tasted point to an estate working at a very high level of overall quality and consistency. Readers who want to learn more about the estate may want to take a look at my video interview with Elisa Scavino. Importer: Banville & Jones Wine Merchants, New York, NY; tel. (204) 294-4899
