2005 Paolo Scavino Bricco Ambrogio Barolo

Enrico Scavino’s experience, recognized the quality of this undiscovered beautiful cru and decided to purchase it in 2001. By luck this cru was the only one of the estate untouched by the hail in 2002 and debuted as a solo showing lots of personality and potential even in such a difficult year.

Bricco Ambrogio has an intense and multifaceted aromatic spectrum. The core is soft and polished through a beautiful acid-tannic balance. There is an underlying depth in this Barolo and the finish is long and nuanced.

Wine Watch Tasting Notes:  They own 28 hectares and make everything from their estate fruit, 6 hectares of this cru only 4 producers of this cru, a very perfumed bouquet exotic spices a nice hand of fresh rose petals red cherry and wild strawberry fruit on the nose, white truffle notes and a slight vegetal note coming out.  A big and chewy wine on the tongue with lovely minerality here lengthening the finish, loaded with spice and pretty floral notes some tannins here at the end but lots of everything lovely balance.  Finish 50+           Most Excellent
