CRITIC REVIEWS
Michael Garner
2007 was the Scavino familys first vintage of Monvigliero as a cru bottling. The vineyard lies at the very northern limit of the Barolo zone. This has a mature nose of black fruit compote with hints of roast meat, camphor and charred spice. The full, ripe and round palate has silky tannins and mature fruit flavours, with shadings of liquorice, tobacco and coffee. Its velvety and generous - a classic example of mature Nebbiolo from a warm vintage.
Antonio Galloni
Scavinos 2007 Barolo Monvigliero is by far the most concentrated, rich and structured Barolo I have ever tasted from this historic vineyard in Verduno. Firm yet polished tannins frame an explosive core of dark red fruit, rose petals, mint and spices. The Monvigliero shows marvelous focus and intensity. It is one of the most tannic wines of the vintage, but also one of the most promising. Sweet, floral notes leave a lasting impression on the vivid, textured finish. Scavinos Monvigliero will be a fascinating wine to follow, although I fear it may require significant patience. This is a marvelous debut vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2032. This is a stunning set of new wines from Enrico Scavino. Over the last few years Scavino has begun to incorporate lots vinified in specially designed tanks that allow for greater contact with the skins. This year Scavino has a new Barolo from a recently acquired parcel in Monvigliero, the most historic vineyard in the village of Verduno. Scavino had incorporated the fruit from this parcel into the straight Barolo when he had access to the vineyard under lease, but now that he has full control of the vineyard he has decided to bottle the wine separately. The first vintage, the 2007, is a stunner.
