Tasting notes
Good full red. Deep, complex aromas and flavors of dark cherry, raspberry, flowers, tobacco and truffley underbrush. Broad and classic, with superb inner-mouth floral lift and a pronounced crushed rock character. A beautiful expression of Cannubi, with excellent acidity, noble tannins and an extremely long, resounding finish. This fruit was picked at a low pH in 2007, noted Elisa Scavino.

Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. This is a stunning set of new wines from Enrico Scavino. Over the last few years Scavino has begun to incorporate lots vinified in specially designed tanks that allow for greater contact with the skins. This year Scavino has a new Barolo from a recently acquired parcel in Monvigliero, the most historic vineyard in the village of Verduno. Scavino had incorporated the fruit from this parcel into the straight Barolo when he had access to the vineyard under lease, but now that he has full control of the vineyard he has decided to bottle the wine separately. The first vintage, the 2007, is a stunner. Importer: Banville & Jones Wine Merchants, New York, NY; tel. (204) 294-4899
