2005 Paolo Scavino Barolo "Bric dël Fiasc", Piedmont, Italy - 3L JEROBOAM

2005 Paolo Scavino Barolo "Bric dël Fiasc", Piedmont, Italy - 3L JEROBOAM

The 2005 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is a huge, muscular wine. In 2005 the wine shows a decidedly fruit-driven, fresh style. The purity of fruit here is remarkable. The dark, brooding quality that is often present in the wine is absent, while floral, perfumed elements dominate in this vintage. The fruit remains dense, ripe and primary. From start to finish, this is a remarkable Bric del Fiasc. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.

ABOUT THIS WINE

Scavino’s very first single vineyard Barolo, first produced in 1978. Located in Castiglione Falletto, within the Fiasco cru. Under Scavino’s ownership since 1921, it is in this vineyard where the Tortonian and Helvetian soils cross, bringing both power and elegance to the finished wine.

260 meters above sea level with a southwest orientation.

The 2005 Barolo vintage is generally considered to be a very good to excellent year, offering a nice balance between power, elegance, and complexity. The vintage is marked by a combination of cooler and moderate conditions, which led to wines with good acidity, ripe fruit, and solid tannins.
