2021 Paolo Scavino "Bussia Vigna Fantini" Barolo
98
James Suckling
A super-fresh and elegant Barolo with leafy lightness, red currants, watermelon, licorice and a touch of sweet violets on the nose. Slight sweetness on the palate, with a lot of minty flavors, a full body, fresh acidity and quite firm yet velvety tannins. Great overall harmony, with a savory aftertaste and a lavish finish.

Notes
Paolo Scavino’s Bussia Vigna Fantini Barolo 2021 is a powerful and structured expression of this historic Monforte d’Alba cru, showcasing depth, complexity, and longevity. The nose is intense and layered, revealing dark cherry, black plum, and dried rose, intertwined with notes of tobacco, licorice, and crushed stone. The palate is rich and muscular, offering deep red and black fruit, savory earth, and finely chiseled tannins, all balanced by vibrant acidity. A long, resonant finish lingers with hints of balsamic, cedar, and dark spice. A profound, cellar-worthy Barolo, perfect for truffle dishes and slow-braised meats.
