Our #1 Wine Of The Year
Our #1 Wine Of The Year, the Paolo Scavino Barolo Riserva, is made in only extraordinary vintages. Near-perfect conditions and exacting standards produce a Barolo Riserva of this caliber.
Fruit of exceptional balance and depth was hand-selected for the 2016 release. Prior to 2016, the last vintage the estate released a Barolo Riserva was 2011—a reminder of how few growing seasons truly meet the requirements.
“The 2016 Barolo Riserva is remarkable, offering loads of kirsch, polished leather, balsamic, dark chocolate, and crushed violets. The list goes on and on as it opens and begins to show more mineral aromas of graphite and truffle. Medium to full-bodied, it's an exquisite red, with ripe, polished tannins, a seamless structure, and a long finish. It retains wonderful purity and ripeness and leaves a haunting sensation as it tapers ever so slowly. This stunning wine from the Scavino family is built for the long haul." Jeb Dunnuck
Bottled with a label that pays homage to the original 1964 Scavino label, this Riserva is made only in years deemed truly exceptional, with the finest fruit hand-selected from five of the estate’s most prized crus—Fiasco, Albarella, San Bernardo, Bricco Ambrogio, and Ravera.
Chef’s Pairing
White truffle risotto or tajarin (fresh egg pasta) with butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano. The wine’s rose-petal aromatics, depth of fruit, and finely sculpted tannins elevate earthy Piedmontese dishes. Its structure frames richness beautifully, while its acidity keeps the pairing poised and precise. This gorgeous wine with a decade of bottle age will also pair wonderfully with:
- Braised veal shank or osso buco
- Beef short ribs with polenta
- Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano or Castelmagno
Don't miss this highly collectible and rare offering.
Extremely limited. First-come, first-served.
Decant for thirty minutes and let the beauty of this wine unfold.
Cheers and Happy New Year!
