Paolo Scavino - 2019 - Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva (magnum available) - 1.5 L

Subregion: Rocche dell'Annunziata

Paolo Scavino’s Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva is a focused, single‑vineyard expression of Nebbiolo from the Rocche dell'Annunziata cru in Piedmont. Produced only in top vintages and offered in both standard and magnum formats, this riserva shows the hallmarks of meticulous site selection and extended ageing: concentrated red-fruit core, lifted floral aromatics, and very fine-grained tannins. The wine is from Barolo, a region renowned for structure and longevity, and is crafted to pair seamlessly with rich, savory fare—braised beef, truffle pasta, roasted game, and aged hard cheeses are natural companions. Its profile suits collectors who value provenance and restraint: moderate to high acidity frames the fruit, while tannins are present but refined, giving immediate appeal when decanted and substantial reward with cellaring. The magnum format further enhances maturation potential, making this a thoughtful purchase for special-occasion service or long-term investment in a personal cellar. Paolo Scavino's commitment to single-vineyard release and riserva classification means production is limited to standout years, reinforcing the wine’s boutique nature and collectible status. Expect a wine that balances perfume and power—silky yet structured, evocative of Barolo’s classic profile but concentrated and precise. Whether opened after a few years for a celebratory meal or aged for decades, Rocche dell'Annunziata Riserva represents a refined, age-worthy side of Nebbiolo from a respected Barolo producer.
