Barolo

2001 Barolo Nebbiolo

The Paolo Scavino Barolo from the renowned 2001 vintage showcases the exquisite characteristics of the Nebbiolo varietal, offering a captivating experience for wine enthusiasts. This beautiful red wine exhibits a deep garnet hue, hinting at its age and complexity. The nose is a bouquet of enticing aromas, including floral notes of rose petals, earthy undertones, and vibrant red fruits such as cherry and raspberry, which are beautifully integrated with hints of leather and truffle. On the palate, this wine presents a medium body that delivers a satisfying richness without overwhelming the senses. The acidity is perfectly balanced, providing a bright and lively finish that enhances its overall appeal. The tannins are notable yet refined, lending structure and depth to the wine while allowing its fruitiness to shine through. This Barolo is an excellent choice for those seeking a sophisticated representation of its celebrated region, making it a rewarding companion for rich dishes or an elegant evening on its own.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
