Barolo Carobric 2016 Paolo Scavino

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (98)

Sadly, we are seeing the last vintages of this wine that is expected to be discontinued after the 2018 vintage. The Paolo Scavino 2016 Barolo Carobric represents a historic blend of fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric dël Fiasc. Because the lease on Cannubi was not renewed, Carobric lost one of its fundamental building blocks. Cannubi brought richness, generous flavors and textural suppleness to the final blend. If you are a fan of this wine, I suggest you stock up on this vintage that is poised to be one of the most memorable and age-worthy among this group of final releases. This classic vintage is rich with dark fruit, licorice, truffle-infused earth and a pretty touch of sweet hazelnut cream.

A rich, layered Barolo with candied-cherry, ripe-berry and some citrus-rind character. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a creamy texture, where the fruit covers the tannins in a linear way.
