Aromas of strawberry, orange, white rose, and sandalwood follow through to a full body with very fine tannins that have a velvety texture that is focused and refined. Vivid acidity. Juicy and flavorful. Lovely depth and intensity. Give it five to six years of bottle age. Best after 2028. ~ (97) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 7-28-2023

Castiglione Falletto. Deep, lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Savoury nose with salty hints and just a suggestion of oak, but not yet open. A mouthful of sour-cherry fruit with lots of gripping tannins. Long but still embryonic. ~ (17) Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com 5-23-2023

The 2019 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is the hallmark wine of the estate, and it shows. Taking on more concentration, it is pure and generous with kirsch, star anise, nutmeg, and menthol and moves impressively to the palate with ease and nobility. It offers fantastic depth while remaining true to the vintage and propels forward through an arch of acidity, while having grounded notes of Earl Grey tea, black cherry, and crushed stones as well as ripe tannins. Drink 2026-2046. ~ (98) Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com 5-4-2023

With the gold label, the Paolo Scavino 2019 Barolo Bric dël Fiasc is also a bit closed on first nose. I came back to this wine (and all the others in this flight) 24 hours later to monitor the progression of the bouquet. At this young stage, you get basic primary fruit with some light spice. The tannins are a bit more etched and prominent in this wine. You feel chalky minerality on the close. Production is 12,000 bottles. ~ (94) Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 8-24-2023

A supple, graceful red announced by rose, cherry, licorice, iron and white pepper aromas and flavors. This is no pushover, however, with a layer of dense, pointed tannins that resonate on the long aftertaste. Shows excellent balance and complexity. Best from 2027 through 2046. 675 cases made, 203 cases imported. ~ (95) Wine Spectator, Wine Spectator 1-1-2023
