The Paolo Scavino Barolo Carobric DOCG 2017 is a superb representation of the Piedmont region of Italy. From the renowned producer Paolo Scavino, this vintage is a testament to their expertise and passion for winemaking. On the nose, this wine exudes rich aromas of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and plum, accompanied by subtle hints of spices and earthy notes. Its deep, ruby red color is a sight to behold, giving a glimpse of its bold and complex character. On the palate, the Carobric 2017 showcases a full-bodied and velvety texture, with firm tannins that give structure and balance to its flavors of blackberry, licorice, and tobacco. This well-crafted Barolo has a long and satisfying finish, leaving a lingering impression of its premium quality. It is a must-try for any wine connoisseur.

James Suckling
The plums, dried strawberries and crushed stones pop out of the glass. Full-bodied and very layered with intense tannins and a chewy finish. This is a tannic and powerful wine. Give this three to four years to soften and come together. The tannins need to resolve. Drink after 2024

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous
The 2017 Barolo Carobric is one of the standouts in this range, as it often is. It has an extra dimension of depth and volume that works so well here. Sweet red cherry, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco, anise and brambly notes build as this striking, expressive Barolo shows off its considerable charm. What a pretty wine it is.

Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
This wine is a historic blend of fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric dël Fiasc. Because the Cannubi lease was not renewed, Carobric will be very different after the 2018 vintage. However, the Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Carobric delivers what we love about this wine. It opens to a medium garnet hue and soft fruit intensity. It exhibits wild cherry and dried raspberry, with spice, smoke and lightly roasted hazelnut.

Savory aromas of wild thyme and eucalyptus introduce this plum and cherry-filled red. Rich and smooth, with ample tannins emerging on the lingering finish for support.
