2016 Barolo Riserva, fu Cav. Lorenzo, Paolo Scavino (1.5L)
A firm and chewy Barolo showing sour cherries, lemon rind, dried flowers and tar on the nose. Some leather and mahogany. It’s full-bodied, firm and tannic, with meaty and zesty components. Powerful. Try after 2027. ~ (96) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 1-10-2024
Dark red/magenta in color, the 2016 Barolo Riserva is remarkable, offering loads of kirsch, polished leather, balsamic, dark chocolate, and crushed violets. The list goes on and on as it opens and begins to show more mineral aromas of graphite and truffle. Medium to full-bodied, it’s an exquisite red, with ripe, polished tannins, a seamless structure, and a long finish. It retains wonderful purity and ripeness and leaves a haunting sensation as it tapers ever so slowly. This stunning wine from the Scavino family is built for the long haul. Drink 2026-2056. ~ (98) Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com 5-13-2024
The 2016 Barolo Riserva is a dense, dark, towering wine. A rush of plum, pomegranate, spice, espresso, cloves and livorice saturates the palate. This sumptuous, full-throttle Barolo has a ton to offer. The interplay of textural richness and structure is compelling. This is a fabulous wine with great purity of fruit, depth and intensity. Scavino lovers will be delighted. ~ (97) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 11-1-2023
This Riserva has been made twice, and the first time was in 2011. Jumping forward five years, we have the Paolo Scavino 2016 Barolo Riserva Paolo Scavino fu Cav. Lorenzo. The late Enrico Scavino wanted to honor the generation before him, back when Barolo was a very poor area and families like his never abandoned their land despite hard economic times. The wine's retro label is a throwback to those nostalgic years. The blend in 2016 is different than 2011. Here, we have Bricco Ambrogio, Ravera, San Bernardo and a part of Bric dël Fiasc in Castiglione Falletto. Blends are the traditional way of making Barolo, but the Scavino family considers this wine its own cru. It opens slowly to red cherry, dried blackberry and earthy aromas of flower root. The use of oak is moderate, and the wine is quite fresh, holding on nicely without too much of a tertiary signature. It ferments in steel, with each parcel vinified separately. After time in oak, it spends five years in glass. This is a restate. ~ (96) Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-30-2025
