about this wine:
The modern history of the Scavino family starts with this vineyard, within the Fiasco cru. Here the Nebbiolo grapes were always the best: consequently in 1978 young Enrico convinced his father Paolo to vinify these grapes separately, thereby establishing the austere and fascinating king of the Scavino winery. The soil is composed of gray silt-sand, marl, sometimes bluish, or whitish-gray on the surface and is called Marna di San'Agata fossili (tufo clay). The grapes are hand harvested in early October. Maceration and fermentation occur in temperature controlled steel rotary fermenters. Malolactic fermentation follows in oak barrels. Aging in French oak barriques for 12 months and a further 12 months in large French casks and finally 12 months in bottle.

The 2000 Barolo Bric del Fiasc, powerful and penetrating in aroma with expansive sensations of tar, truffles, and anisette, is dense, burly, and concentrated on the palate, intense on the close, but less sweet and round than unusual. It is built to last, however, and will still be drinking well in 2018.

Very, very ripe fruit, with strawberries and plums galore. Turns to Indian spices and cedar. Full-bodied, with an exquisite palate of utlraripe tannins that turn to velvet. Long, long finish. Cashmere. Great from barrel, great from bottle. This is the best Bric dėl Fiasc ever. Best after 2010. 875 cases made. (JS)
