PERFECT 100/100 Rated Barolo

SOLD OUT

"If a wine can truly be perfect, this is it."

- The Wine Enthusiast




A PERFECT 100 Point Barolo, from an almost Perfect Vintage:


2010 Paolo Scavino Bric del Fiasc Barolo...$86.99
(Lowest price on Wine Searcher is $88)
If a wine can truly be perfect, this is it. Displaying power, grace, depth and complexity, this Barolo delivers sublime Nebbiolo sensations including rose, underbrush, red cherry, leather, licorice, baking spices, clove, white pepper and balsamic notes. The intense flavors are balanced by velvety tannins and fantastic energy.

Rated 100/100 The Wine Enthusiast

The 2010 Barolo Bric del Fiasc was the first single vineyard expression made by Scavino in 1978...This is a bright and intense wine with a profound inner beauty and balance. The wine rolls off the tongue in silky waves. The finish is extra-long, fresh and bursting with energy. This is a wine to set aside for ten years or more. The tannins already show a good degree of softness, but this wine is at the humble start of its evolution. Drink: 2018-2035.
Rated 96/100 The Wine Advocate


The Wine Spectator has not rated this wine yet, but gave the 2010 Barolo vintage a 96-99 rating overall.  They have not scored a vintage that high since 1996. This is the Barolo vintage to buy!
