Tenuta Paolo Scavino, Langhe Nebbiolo 2023

Tenuta Paolo Scavino Langhe Nebbiolo 2023 offers an elegant and approachable expression of Piedmont’s signature grape. With its brilliant ruby colour, lively freshness and polished tannins, it captures the refined character of Nebbiolo while remaining inviting in its youth. Paolo Scavino has been producing wines in the Barolo area since 1921, making this a bottle rooted in one of Italy’s most historic wine regions.

Tasting Notes
The wine is bright and clear in the glass, showing a beautiful ruby-red hue. Its fragrant nose is distinctly Nebbiolo, combining elegant red-fruit aromas with floral and subtly earthy nuances. On the palate, it is lively and well balanced, with refreshing acidity, gentle structure and soft tannins that give the wine both finesse and length. Enjoyable now for its freshness and supple texture, the 2023 Langhe Nebbiolo can develop added complexity over the next few years when stored in a cool, dark cellar. Its approachable style makes it a particularly versatile introduction to the grape and the wines of Piedmont.

Production
The wine is made from Nebbiolo grown in the Langhe, an area shaped by rolling hills and a combination of clay and calcareous soils that help preserve the variety’s characteristic perfume and acidity. The grapes are destemmed and crushed before alcoholic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, followed by six days of skin maceration at controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 225-litre wooden barrels, after which the wine receives a short period of maturation in wood, with the remainder in stainless-steel tanks to retain its freshness and fruit character.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly cool, around 16–18°C. Its bright acidity and soft tannins make it a natural partner for pasta with tomato- or mushroom-based sauces, risotto, pizza, roasted poultry, grilled pork and mild to medium-aged cheeses. Decanting is not essential for this youthful and open style, although a brief 20–30-minute decant can help reveal additional aromatic detail.

Producer
