Paolo Scavino with Weston Hoard/ Bommarito

A prestige winery from the Northwest region of Italy. Specializing in Barolo.

Rosso da Tavola 2009. a blend of Nebbiolo, dolcetto and barbera with a touch of merlot.. a smidge dirty on the nose, kind of left me wanting more from the wine. not a bad wine just not very much depth. the weakest of the bunch for sure

Dolcetto d'alba 2009 ..the beaujolais of italy.. soft and uneventful. .. roses and earth on the nose..

Langhe Nebbiolo 2007.. the poor mans barolo.. the grape of barolo.. pretty bright soft cherry flavors.. anise and pretty good tannin structure.. I was very impressed with this effort.

Barolo 2006 a blend of several vineyard sites.  purple garnet in the glass again with the bright fruit that was showing in the Nebbiolo... great value for barolo

Barolo Bricco Amborgio 2005  named for a saint this vineyard site produced a more tannic and complex wine .. grit and tannin and very muscular

Barolo Bric del Fiasc 2005... hill with the flask.. home ranch for the winery.. mouthfilling and lush.. dark fruits and lots of acidity that keeps the wine tasting fresh and lively... long finish.
