Der Wein reifte zwei Jahre lang, und durch die Kombination aus kleinen Fässern und großen Eichenbotti (traditionelle Fässer im slawonischen Stil) fügen sich die Eichenaromen subtil in den Hintergrund ein. Der Alkoholgehalt beträgt 14 %, was für diesen Jahrgang typisch ist.
Das Jahr 2019 war in Barolo von einer langsamen, klassischen Vegetationsperiode geprägt. Der Winter war lang, und die Niederschläge im April füllten die Feuchtigkeitsreserven des Bodens auf; auf die Hitzewellen Ende Juni und Ende Juli folgte ein relativ milder August. Im September blieb das Wetter tagsüber warm und nachts kühl. Die Nebbiolo-Trauben wurden in der zweiten Oktoberhälfte geerntet, was nach heutigen Maßstäben relativ spät war. Elisa Scavino verkürzte die Extraktionszeit um etwa 10 Tage, was darauf hindeutet, dass die Tannine ausreichend ausgereift waren und keiner zusätzlichen Behandlung bedurften.
Dies ist ein kräftiger, frischer Wein mit großem Alterungspotenzial. Wir empfehlen, ihn zwischen 2026 und 2045 zu genießen.

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.

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.
James Suckling (97)
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.

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. Walter Speller

The 2019 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is a gorgeous wine in the making. Deep, fleshy and wonderfully nuanced, the 2019 offers up an exotic mélange of kirsch, pomegranate, baking spice and a kick of new oak. Often quite the tannic beast, in 2019, the Bric del Fiasc is impeccable in its balance. The rich, substantial finish is a thing of beauty. Best of all, the 2019 should drink well relatively early for this wine.

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.
Falstaff (97)
Bright, brilliant ruby garnet. Notes of pomegranate, geranium, orange zest, rhubarb, some cinchona bark, raspberry and cold smoke on the nose. The palate has a polished core, embedded in juicy, tight-knit tannins, plus fine mint, red peach, nice length, elegant and powerful.
