Paolo Scavino Barolo Carobric(2000)

Vineyard surface: 3,3400 ha
Soil type, exposure and altitude, planting year: the ROCCHE DI CASTIGLIONE (planting year 1970; exposure south-west; altitude 300 m a.s.l.) is located in the highest part of Castiglione Falletto where the soil is the arenaria of Diano d'Alba (Diano sandstone) with alternating strata of yellowish-gray sandstones and dark brown-gray sand
beds. This kind of soil is well drained and poor, spurring on the roots to go deep in the soil: the wines produced from this vineyard are therefore complex, very well structured and they express multidimensional read more...flavors.

Vinification:
the grapes are harvested normally during the first decade of October. The maceration and the fermentation occur in steel rotary fermenters with temperature controlled. The malolactic fermentation occurs in oak barrels. Aging in French oak barriques for 12 months and further 12
months in French casks. After that, one more year of bottle aging before the commercialization.
