750mL / Piemonte / Italy
The Paolo Scavino Barolo Riserva Novantesimo DOCG 2011 is a rich and powerful red wine produced in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Novantesimo vineyard, which is located in the Barolo appellation.
The wine has a deep garnet color with brick red highlights, and it offers intense aromas of dark fruit, licorice, tobacco, leather, and earthy notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and complex, with flavors of black cherry, plum, spice, and a hint of vanilla. It has firm tannins and a long finish that lingers on the palate.
This Barolo Riserva is aged for 36 months in oak barrels, followed by an additional 12 months in bottle before release. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for further aging. It pairs well with rich and flavorful dishes such as grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses.
