Taut yet graceful, Paolo Scavino’s 2008 Barolo Riserva Bric del Fiasc layers dark red stone fruits with hints of pine, mint, wild herbs and sweet spice, all framed by lifted, perfumed aromatics unusual for this normally muscular cru. The palate is polished and finely etched, with precise tannins and vivid acidity giving the wine both energy and class, suggesting a powerful Barolo that has evolved toward elegance rather than sheer heft.
