Paolo Scavino is one of Barolo's most respected names — a family domaine with a track record of producing some of the appellation's most elegant and age-worthy wines. The Vino Rosso is their entry point: a declassified, early-drinking blend that draws on the same Piedmontese varieties that anchor the top of the range. It is, in the best sense, a gateway into Scavino's house style — precise, aromatic, and built with care rather than shortcuts. Expect bright red cherry, violet, a whisper of tar, and fresh acidity that makes it an instinctive food wine. Nebbiolo provides the structure and perfume, Barbera the juiciness, Dolcetto the accessible fruit. The 2023 vintage in Piedmont was warm and expressive — this will be more generous and approachable young than previous releases. A brilliant introduction to the Scavino name at a fraction of the Barolo price.
