2002 Paolo Scavino Barolo "Bricco Ambrogio", Piedmont, Italy - 1.5L MAG

ABOUT THIS WINE

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.

The 2002 Barolo vintage is considered to be challenging, and for many producers, it was a year that required careful management to produce quality wines. There were good wines produced from the 2002 vintage, particularly from producers who were able to overcome the challenges posed by the weather conditions.
