Item #TC26
About this Tasting Case:
This is an unparalleled way to kick off your own 2004 Barolo campaign. What better way to begin investing in this classic vintage than with a legendary producer? Scavino’s vintage history provides an extraordinary reflection of a producer who has authored a compelling evolution, with every stage or phase testifying to the merits of both terroir and technique. Scavino’s 1990 Bric dël Fiasc, for example, is a profound effort from his traditional period, when Slavonian oak was the sole instrument of choice. Yet his modern-oriented wines are equally significant, establishing that barrique-aged wines are just as worthy of the cellar as those derived from traditional approaches.

Sergio’s belief in Scavino is such that he dedicated an entire chapter of his forthcoming book, Passion on the Vine: A Memoir of Food, Wine, and Family in the Heart of Italy to evoking Scavino’s realm and the winemaker behind the persona. These are not wines that you buy merely one or two bottles of: This sampler allows you to trace the nuanced and dramatic evolution of these extraordinary crus. Experience them in all their wondrous complexity and change: Like Piemonte and their creator, they’re not defined in the moment, but over the broad and untouchable expanse of time.
