2021 Barolo, Bric Del Fiasc, Paolo Scavino
Pale garnet. Very direct perfume whistles right up the nose. Pure and whistle-clean. Dry finish. Quite delicate. The sort of wine you wouldn’t find anywhere else in the world. ~ (17) Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com 3-11-2025
The Paolo Scavino 2021 Barolo Bric dël Fiasc, from a 2.5-hectare site in Castiglione Falletto on a southwest-facing slope, shows an especially rich and textured side with aromas of dark fruit that are accented by clove, cinnamon, spice and even a hint of bitter chocolate. This is a bold expression of Nebbiolo with elegantly managed tannins that are quite firm and need ample time to resolve. Production is 12,100 bottles. ~ (96) Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 6-19-2025
The 2021 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Red toned-fruit, chalk, white pepper, dried herbs and exotic citrus notes soar out of the glass. Beams of tannin lend the energy and drive that are such classic signatures of this Castiglione Falletto site. ~ (94) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 1-1-2025
This is dusty, with dried flowers, dark cherries and a hint of spices on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with lots of succulent fruit framed by polished, powdery tannins that dissipate gradually, showing persistent fruit flavors. Outstanding. Better after 2027. ~ (97) Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas, JamesSuckling.com 1-20-2025
