Despite the passing of Enrico Scavino in 2024, his daughters Elisa and Enrica have produced some of the very best wines of the vintage and the scores reflect that. They are exotic, muscular, focussing on black rather than red fruit, packed with energy and tension. True to site, these are wines that should be on all Barolo followers’ buy list.
Paolo Scavino has knocked the 2021 Barolo vintage out of the park and the firm’s Ravera is another impressive showing. It opens with alluring aromas of ripe dark-skinned fruit, iris, menthol and star anise while the delicious, full-bodied palate delivers succulent Marasca cherry, raspberry tart, licorice, cinnamon and crushed mint. Tightly woven, velvety tannins provide seamless support while fresh acidity keeps it vibrant and together they give the wine a weightless concentration despite that belies its impressive structure. Drink 2031–2041.
