Paolo Scavino Barolo Bric dël Fiasc 2021

This red is saturated with pure cherry notes, plus hints of blackberry and plum, along with stony mineral, earth and wild herb accents. Starts out rich and supple in texture but gains density and structure by the long finish. Shows terrific balance and complexity. Best from 2029 through 2050. 750 cases made, 250 cases imported.

The 2021 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Red toned-fruit, chalk, white pepper, dried herbs and exotic citrus notes soar out of the glass. Beams of tannin lend the energy and drive that are such classic signatures of this Castiglione Falletto site.
