2006 Paolo Scavino Dolcetto d’Alba
- Share via
Enrico Scavino is some kind of genie with grapes. In good vintages and indifferent ones, this Barolo producer makes exceptional wines. But give him a really good vintage and even his so-called lesser wines such as this Dolcetto d’Alba stand out. Fresh and loaded with ripe, sweet fruit, the 2006 has all the right stuff: character, balance, terroir and sheer deliciousness.
A Dolcetto like this is perfect with bruschetta, or pour a glass with a plate of salumi and cheese. It’s great with a hearty bean soup, with pasta and chicken fricassee, too, and, well, just about anything.
