ABOUT THIS WINE
The Paolo Scavino Barolo Carobric 2018 is a 100% Nebbiolo wine from the Barolo DOCG in Piedmont, Italy. It is a blend of fruit from three significant crus: Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi, and Bric del Fiasc. The producer, Azienda Vitivinicola Paolo Scavino di Scavino Enrico, is a family-run estate with a long history dating back to 1921, now managed by the fourth generation. The Carobric is known for its unique blend, with the 2018 vintage being the last to include fruit from the Cannubi vineyard due to lease expiration. The wine originates from the Langhe sub-region, specifically from the towns of Barolo and Castiglione Falletto, areas renowned for Nebbiolo.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Paolo Scavino Barolo Carobric 2018 is produced from 100% Nebbiolo grapes. Each vineyard parcel is vinified separately in stainless steel tanks, with submerged-cap maceration lasting 10-12 days. Alcoholic fermentation, utilizing indigenous yeasts, takes place over 20-30 days at controlled temperatures. Following malolactic fermentation in barrels, the wine undergoes aging for 12 months in French oak barriques and another 12 months in larger French oak barrels (botti). The wine is then blended in stainless steel tanks before bottling 6-7 months prior to release.
