Critics Ratings

‘Love the nose of ripe fruits and spices here that turn to dried strawberries. Full body, with chewy tannins and loads of fruit. Solid and powerful yet polished and reserved. The relatively new vineyard is really coming together. Try in 2016.’ - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 95/100

‘Scavino’s 2008 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is an attractive, fruit-driven Barolo endowed with plump dark cherries, plums, violets and spices. Stylistically it is a round, relatively soft wine for the year. The Bricco Ambrogio should offer rewarding drinking with just a few more years in bottle. This is the most accessible of Scavino’s single-vineyard 2008 Baroli. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 93/100

‘Dark blackish ruby. Sweet and bloody and with real transparency and vibrancy. Nervy. Really rather impressive! Some opulence too. Just a little sweeter and more obvious than the most ethereal Barolo, this should really give pleasure. Neat, dry finish though it’s not yet ready. 2017-2027’ - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 17/20 (Sep 2012)
