2022 Paolo Scavino Pre-Release Party
Join us and Roberto Boggione from Paolo Scavino winery in Barolo for an amazing lineup of some of the most highly-regarded wines in the region. Scavino holds vineyards in many of the prestigious "crus" of Barolo, and their terroir-driven focus allows us to see very unique expressions of the Nebbiolo grape. Their wines are also more approachable than many other producers, and while they benefit with time in the cellar, you do not have to invest years to enjoy them.
