Produced by the historic winery in Castiglione Falletto, this wine is born from the union of three excellent vineyards – Cannubi, Rocche di Castiglione, and Bric del Fiasc – a “golden triangle” that provides a balance of finesse, structure, and aromatic complexity. Full-bodied yet harmonious, it is a wine with a decisive character, capable of evolving magnificently over time and surprising with its depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2017 vintage was characterized by a dry and warm climate, but with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, ideal for optimal Nebbiolo ripening.

The result is a Barolo of remarkable elegance, already captivating today but with guaranteed longevity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking of \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo DOCG 'Carobric' 2017 - Paolo Scavino\u003c\/strong\u003e combines tradition and technical precision.
