Paolo Scavino Barolo Riserva Bric dël Fiasc DOCG Museum Release 1.5L MAGNUM 2008

Paolo Scavino Barolo Riserva Bric dël Fiasc DOCG Museum Release is a single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the Fiasco cru in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of Barolo. Here, different geological formations meet within the vineyard, giving Bric dël Fiasc its distinctive combination of finesse and power. It is one of Paolo Scavino’s most important Barolos, made in a structured, classical style that requires considerable time to reveal its full complexity.

The 2008 Riserva is particularly special in 1.5L magnum. Close to two decades on, this is mature Barolo in an exceptional format: the greater volume of wine relative to the oxygen beneath the cork generally allows magnums to evolve more slowly than standard bottles. The Riserva is made only in selected years and given the longer ageing the classification requires, and Nebbiolo’s high acidity and formidable tannin structure further underpin its ability to develop over decades.

Stand the bottle upright well before opening to allow any sediment to settle, then decant carefully and serve at around 16 to 18 degrees with braised beef, game, truffle dishes, porcini or mature Piedmontese cheeses.
