Tenuta Paolo Scavino, Barolo Bric del Fiasc 2018

Tenuta Paolo Scavino’s Barolo Bric del Fiasc 2018 is a benchmark single-vineyard Barolo from one of the appellation’s most respected family estates. Made from 100% Nebbiolo and sourced from the historic Fiasco cru in Castiglione Falletto, it captures the site’s rare combination of finesse, power, and unmistakable Barolo character. As one of the early single-vineyard Barolos, it also carries an important place in the modern history of the region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the classic allure of Nebbiolo: bright, refined color and a very elegant profile. The bouquet is complex and mineral-driven, with balsamic notes, fine floral accents, and layers of small red berries that unfold gradually with air. On the palate, Bric del Fiasc is defined by vivid acidity, earthy depth, and polished tannins that give the wine both structure and length. Red fruit and licorice lead the way, supported by savory undertones and a precise, almost architectural feel. This is a Barolo built for aging, and it will continue to gain nuance and harmony over many years in bottle.

Production
The Fiasco vineyard sits in Castiglione Falletto, where Tortonian and Helvetian soils meet to create a rare balance of elegance and intensity. The grapes are harvested by hand, typically in the second half of October, ensuring optimal ripeness and careful selection in the vineyard. Vinification follows Paolo Scavino’s precise approach, designed to express the cru’s individuality while preserving freshness, aromatic detail, and the fine tannic structure typical of great Barolo.

Food & Serving
This Barolo is an excellent match for rich, slow-cooked dishes such as braised beef, osso buco, game, truffle pasta, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C to allow the aromatics and texture to fully open. Decanting is recommended, especially in its youth, to give the wine room to reveal its full complexity.

Producer
Founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto, Tenuta Paolo Scavino is a historic Barolo estate now led by Enrico Scavino together with his daughters Enrica and Elisa. The family is known for combining deep respect for terroir with a modern, exacting winemaking style, and for championing single-vineyard expressions of Nebbiolo. With vineyards across some of Barolo’s most important communes and a reputation for highly sought-after wines, Scavino remains one of the region’s defining producers.
