ABOUT THIS WINE
The Barolo Bric dël Fiasc 2020 from Paolo Scavino originates from the esteemed Barolo DOCG in Piedmont, Italy, specifically from the Castiglione Falletto sub-region. This wine is a single-vineyard expression, a concept pioneered by Enrico Scavino for this site. The vineyard, known as Bric dël Fiasc, is characterized by its unique terroir, featuring a blend of Tortonian and Helvetian soils. The Paolo Scavino estate, established in 1921, is a family-run winery now in its fourth generation, deeply committed to vineyard-centric winemaking.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Barolo Bric dël Fiasc is produced using traditional winemaking methods. After harvest, the Nebbiolo grapes undergo fermentation, though specific details on vessels or temperatures are not provided. The wine is then aged for approximately two years in large, traditional oak barrels. This aging process is designed to be gentle, aiming to preserve the inherent fruit character of the grapes and the expression of the vineyard's terroir. The overall approach emphasizes minimal intervention to allow the natural qualities of the wine to shine through.
