"From 5.5 hectares in Castiglione Falletto, including a selection from Bricco Voghera † from which Luigi and Lorenzo Scavino usually pick the grapes for their Riserva. Here is a Barolo full of details: intense sweet violet and cinnamon aromas with smoky minerality, pomegranate and red currants. The freshness on the nose is allied to a lot of sucrosity on the palate, with lifted acidity and firm, dusty and even slightly rustic tannins. Good concentration for a village Barolo, and one of the greatest price-quality ratios."

"A fine-tannined and very pretty Barolo with cherry, strawberry and orange peel aromas and flavors. Medium body. Fine tannins and a bright finish. Drinkable but better in two or three years."

"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."

"A pure, linear red, exhibiting strawberry, cherry, floral, menthol and tobacco flavors. Firm, with fine length and a touch of sweet hay in the end. Best from 2025 through 2042. 1,200 cases made, 360 cases imported."

"I like the earthiness here, with notes of fresh truffles mingling with the sour cherry and blueberry fruit. Some lemon rind, too. It's juicy and open with a medium body, fine tannins and citrusy acidity. Drink from 2026."

"Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Impressive minerality on the nose and with subtle, concentrated, red-fruit notes and wild strawberry. Great acidity streamlining the red fruit and with a nice bite of tannins on the finish, while the fresh fruit rules. (WS)"

"The wine showcases a nuanced array of dusty mixed red berries, including the distinctive note of strawberry tops and a savory, meaty quality. This combination is underpinned by firm tannins that give the wine a solid structure and promise potential for aging. Drink now–2040.. —J.P"
