"From a south-facing site on marne and limestone soils, this is one of Scavino's most important wines in terms of volume. The nose, which displays red fruits, is reticent and lacks some aromatic force now, but the wine is still young. Supple, rounded and fleshy, the palate is also concentrated, with firm tannins and considerable complexity. Spicy and tangy, it shows ample grip and energy on the long, weighty finish."

"The 2019 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is a pretty tightly-wound wine for a site that has produced much more open-knit Barolos. Floral, savory and mineral notes dominate, while fruit is pushed into the background. I am surprised to see acids and tannins so prominently on display. It will be interesting to see if this ever softens."
