about this wine:

For many Barolo lovers, Cannubi is the most exceptional cru. A grand cru needs more attention in the vineyard so that the wine can express all of its elegance. In order to maximize
the conditions of the vintage, Enrico Scavino must be a haute couture tailor in the vineyards. The soil in the Cannubi region is typical tufo which is composed of gray silt-sand, marl, sometimes bluish or whitish-gray on the surface. The Cannubi vineyards were first planted in 1946. The grapes are hand harvested normally during the first 10 days of October.
Maceration and the fermentation occur in steel rotary Malolactic fermentation follows in oak barrels. Aging in French oak barriques for 12 months and further 12 months in large French oak casks and finally 12 months in bottle.

About Winery

The Paolo Scavino winery was founded in 1921 by Enrico Scavino's grandfather Paolo. Today Enrico runs the winery with the help of his daughters Enrica and Elisa. The winery is located in Castiglione Falletto, one of the eleven communes of the Barolo appellation, in the historical Langhe hills. The Scavino winery is rare in their possession of grand cru's in six of the eleven villages of Barolo. The Scavino family owns grand cru vineyards in the townships of Castiglione Falletto, Barolo, La Morra, Roddi, Verduno and Serralunga. This diversity of terroir gives the Scavino's a unique opportunity to produce wines of extraordinary quality. The single vineyard crus have been a personal mission of Enrico since he conceived and created the Bric del Fiasc single vineyard label in 1978: The first Scavino cru. The uniqueness of each vineyard's terroir today can be tasted in their four esteemed single vineyard bottlings.
2010 will be Enrico's 60th year as the winemaker of Paolo Scavino.
