Scavino's three 1989 Barolos are spectacular. The 1989 Barolo Cannubi is a legend in the making. Its spectacular nose of sweet black fruits, licorice, grilled meats, and smoky new oak is followed by a wine with immense richness, stunning opulence, a multidimensional personality, and a spectacularly long, well-delineated finish. Approachable now, it promises to drink well and even improve for another 15-20 years. These are the finest Barolos I have tasted from Scavino. Importer: a Marc di Grazia Selection, Michael Skurnick Wines, Westbury, NY.

Supple, succulent and seductive, a remarkably smooth-textured, generous wine that plays its raspberry, plum, rose petal and tar notes against a background of vanilla and spice. A distinguished, elegant, opulent wine that is tempting to drink already but should improve. Best from 1998 through 2000. 280 cases made.??–null??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
