Tenuta Paolo Scavino, Barolo Carobric 2017

Tenuta Paolo Scavino’s Barolo Carobric 2017 is a finely sculpted expression of Nebbiolo from three of Barolo’s most celebrated crus: Rocche di Castiglione, Fiasco, and Cannubi. Known for its precision, intensity, and length, it captures the elegance and power that have made Scavino one of the region’s most respected producers.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Carobric typically shows a clear garnet-red hue with the graceful brightness expected of Barolo. The nose is layered and detailed, offering aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, spice, and subtle earthy undertones, with a very pure and focused profile. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with firm, finely grained tannins, lively acidity, and a long, persistent finish. The wine balances ripeness and structure beautifully, showing both immediate aromatic appeal and the depth to age gracefully for many years. In a good cellar, it should continue to evolve and gain complexity over the next decade or more.

Production
This wine comes from Nebbiolo grown in some of the most prized sites in Barolo: Rocche di Castiglione, Fiasco, and Cannubi, each contributing its own nuance to the final blend. The vineyards are hand-harvested, usually in the second half of October, ensuring the grapes are picked at optimal maturity. Scavino’s vinification is precise and modern in approach, designed to highlight the purity of fruit, the character of each terroir, and the natural structure of Nebbiolo.

Food & Serving
Barolo Carobric 2017 is an excellent match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, truffle risotto, roasted lamb, game birds, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours to allow the wine to open fully and soften its youthful structure.

Producer
