Paolo Scavino, founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto and now run by Enrico Scavino with his daughters, has built its reputation on careful farming and a clear focus on Nebbiolo across 30 hectares in Barolo’s key villages. Enrico has spent decades seeking out and cultivating notable sites such as Cannubi, Rocche Annunziata, Bricco Ambrogio, and Monviglero, aiming to capture each cru’s character through precise vineyard work and restrained winemaking. The estate’s approach puts vine health first and keeps cellar decisions simple, supported by steady innovation, including a custom fermentation vessel introduced in 2007. Their vineyards span soils from both Tortonian and Helvetian origins, giving the wines a mix of lift and structure that reflects the region’s range. Consistent praise from major critics and strict quality control, including selling off a significant share of production when it doesn’t meet the mark, underline the family’s long-standing commitment to clarity and consistency in Barolo.
