2017 Sotheby's: Langhe Nebbiolo

Producer: Paolo Scavino

Lot 135: Named Lot 135 for 3 important years in Scavino family history: 1951, 1993 and 2005 were the years Enrico, Enrica and Elisa joined the property, respectively.

We have known Elisa Scavino for 20 years now, whose family is based in Barolo. Her father Enrico was a pioneer in experimenting with 100% barrique oak and established himself as an avant garde winemaker in the region. Elisa’s Langhe Nebbiolo balances freshness and acidity with enough opulence and richness. 

Tasting Note

Victor Rabot
Classic Nebbiolo showing lovely rich fruit on the nose balanced by lightness and freshness on the palate. Notes of red cherry fruit, black tea, red licorice, tar and roses. Robust on the palate with healthy acidity, this wine is the perfect match with trattoria food, especially pizza and pasta, as well as grilled poultry and meats.
