  Founded in 1921, Paolo Scavino is famous for their Barolos, but don't sleep on their Dolcetto.  It doesn’t have the stature of Barolos and it isn’t as familiar as Barbera, but when it comes to value wines for everyday drinking, Dolcetto is hard to beat.  Dolcetto is the third most famous grape from Piedmont and offers great value from legendary producers like Paolo Scavino.  It's a crowd-pleasing, everyday red that pairs well with almost anything and overdelivers for the price.  Dolcetto d’Alba gives us a taste of one of the world’s most storied wine regions without the wait, and at a price that’s right for drinking anytime.  The 2020 Paolo Scavino Dolcetto d'Alba is beautifully complex with an intriguing character.  It has notes of cherry, blueberry, spice and flowers.  This Dolcetto has well defined tannins and a harmonious acidity.  It's light and bright with a pleasant freshness to it.  Enjoy!

Wine Advocate, 

"The Paolo Scavino 2020 Dolcetto d'Alba (closed in a screw cap bottle) shows a medium dark appearance and a very bright and punchy bouquet that is redolent of cherry and baked blueberry. The wine proceeds with confident freshness and a whole lot of black fruit intensity with a touch of pretty sweetness." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Paolo Scavino's 50 years old Dolcetto vines ensure a beautiful complexity in this wine. Purple color, fresh and delicate aromatics of cherry, blueberry, spices and flowers. The structure has a lightness and brightness in it. Well defined by good tannins and harmonious acidity this wine has a pleasant freshness and intriguing character."
