One of the first grand cru to be made as single vineyard Barolo. Image and identity of Paolo Scavino winery.
In the Fiasco vineyard the Tortonian and Helvetian soils cross each other combining a great finesse an
From one of the Barolo Boys, it's only fitting that 2013 has ended up as the release in the year of Domenico's Passing A Barolo with a great purity of darker fruit, hints of tar, and, a perfumed lift of violets. Just a lick of oak adding to the wine's complexity. Lovely generosity and length of fruit. Long even tannins.
