Barolo Bric dël Fiasc®, Paolo Scavino

BAROLO BRIC DËL FIASC^®

Here the Nebbiolo grapes were always the best: consequently in 1978 Enrico convinced his father Paolo to vinify these grapes separately and show for the first time the potential of this vineyard. One of the first grand cru to be made as single vineyard Barolo. Image and identity of Paolo Scavino winery. In the Bric dël Fiasc vineyard the Tortonian and Helvetian soils cross each other. This Barolo is a great combination of finesse and power
