Each village seems to have a top modernist, and in Castiglione it is Scavino -- though bear in mind that they would probably reject this label and it does seem to mean less and less as vintages pass and the Barolo wars recede into distant memory.

Despite being based in Castiglione, this is a producer who has put together a very impressive collection of top Crus from around DOC Barolo (Cannubi, Monvigliero, etc.).

Their signature wine, however, remains Bric del Fiasco, from the Fiasco vineyard in Castiglione. For a while they went too far with new barriques, but they have cut that back substantially and now reveal great elegance and fruit purity. The Scavino family admires the great wines of Burgundy, and the feeling is mutual!

Professional Reviews

"The 2013 Barolo Carobric is a wine with a bright future, but is going to need at least a few years to come together. Today, the tannins are super imposing and yet there is an underlying sweetness to the fruit that is impossible to miss. Readers will have to be patient, but the 2013 Carobric is extremely promising. I especially like the freshness and energy here. Moreover, the Carobric has a track record of developing beautifully in bottle. Put simply, the 2013 is a terrific Carobric in the making. As always, Carobric is a blend of fruit from Cannubi, Rocche (Castiglione Falletto) and Bric del Fiasc. The blend of grapes from various sites contributes to the wineโ€™s super-classic feel, especially in this vintage." -Antonio Galloni

"The 2013 Barolo Carobric represents a blend of fruit from three sites: Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric dรซl Fiasc. To my palate, this wine really stood out as different from the other wines in the Scavino portfolio. There is a rougher or greener note here that I did not encounter in the others. The wine shows a youthful and nervous personality overall with dark fruit and grilled rosemary." -Monica Larner

Wine Spectator

"A high-pitched, aromatic Barolo, sporting floral, spice and berry flavors, backed by a solid line of tannins. Tobacco and mineral accents show on the finish."
