AZELIA BAROLO DI LUIGI SCAVINO CASTIGILONE FALLETTO ITALY 2019
AZELIA BAROLO DI LUIGI SCAVINO CASTIGILONE FALLETTO ITALY 2019
An impeccable balance. A mix of 7 different single vineyards. Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d’Alba match here in a superlative way. Aroma and finesse with power and body at the same time. Sweet nose, with hints of cherry, black currant and licorice. Fruity tannins. A union of characters.
The 2019 Barolo has a pretty bouquet that is laced with light fruit, licorice and lots of blue flower. On the palate, the wine is mid-weight and lively. This is a nice expression of classic Nebbiolo that shows depth and elegance. It ferments with ambient yeasts and sees 40 days of extended maceration with submerged cap. This 29,400-bottle production represents a blend of fruit from seven sites: Altenasso and Solanotto in Castiglione Falletto, a part of Cerretta, the younger part of Bricco Voghera where the vines are from 55 to 60 years old, part of San Rocco, and Cerrati and Broglio in Serralunga d'Alba.
