About this wine
Azelia's entry-level Barolo is a blend of fruit from seven historic single vineyards spanning both Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba — roughly 30% from the calcareous, white marl soils of Castiglione and 70% from the clay-rich slopes of Serralunga. Aged for two years in large Slavonian oak casks, it offers a classic, accessible expression of Nebbiolo: sweet-fruited, fine-tannined, and true to the estate's precise, terroir-driven style.
The most approachable gateway into Azelia's Barolo range — polished tannins without sacrificing structure.
Sommelier's Note
"Proof that a winery's 'basic' bottling can still show real cru pedigree — this is Barolo without compromise."
Food Pairings
A versatile Barolo for the table — pairs well with braised short rib, mushroom risotto, and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano.

- How long can this Barolo age?
- Well-structured tannins and fresh acidity mean it can develop positively for 10-15 years, though it is approachable within 5-7 years of the vintage.

バローロ ブリッコ・フィアスコ
Barolo Bricco Fiasco
RedNebbiolo
First released in 1978 from vines already 40 years old, Bricco Fiasco is Azelia's founding single-vineyard Barolo and arguably its calling card. The 1.5-hectare cru sits in Castiglione Falletto at about 250m altitude on south-facing, white calcareous soil, and takes its name from the flask-like ('fiasc' in Piedmontese dialect) shape of the hillside. Vines now average 65 years old. The wine channels the radiant, perfumed personality typical of Castiglione Falletto — floral, red-fruited, and vibrant, with the depth to age for decades.
バローロ マルゲリア
Barolo Margheria
RedNebbiolo
Margheria is one of the most celebrated MGA crus of Serralunga d'Alba, and Azelia's holding sits on a southwest-facing slope of poor, white clay soil opposite the famed Perno vineyard, forcing vines — averaging 65 years old — to root deep. Luigi and Lorenzo Scavino extend maceration up to 60 days and age the wine in large casks for 30 months, resulting in a Barolo that is dense, powerful and structured, yet retains real freshness.
バローロ サン・ロッコ
Barolo San Rocco
RedNebbiolo
San Rocco was the first vineyard Azelia acquired in Serralunga d'Alba, a small 1.5-hectare parcel on a sloping hillside directly facing the village's San Rocco church — a plot said to embody Luigi Scavino's love for Serralunga. The wine shows the commune's signature power and austerity: licorice, spice and dark fruit — cherry, currant and blueberry — melded with velvety, well-integrated tannins and exceptional aging potential.
バローロ チェレッタ
Barolo Cerretta
RedNebbiolo
Cerretta has been part of the Scavino family's holdings for nearly 30 years, but Azelia first bottled it as a stand-alone single-vineyard Barolo starting with the 2019 vintage. Sourced from south and southwest-facing, 30-year-old Nebbiolo vines in Serralunga d'Alba, the wine undergoes 55-60 days of maceration on the skins with submerged cap and is aged 30 months in 25-50 hL casks of Slavonian, French and Austrian oak — producing a wine of flinty mineral tension, dark fruit, smoke and violet perfume.
バローロ リゼルヴァ ブリッコ・ヴォゲラ
Barolo Riserva Bricco Voghera
RedNebbiolo
Made only in select vintages and limited to roughly 3,000 bottles, Bricco Voghera Riserva is Azelia's most exclusive and long-aged wine, released only after a full decade of maturation — five years in cask followed by five years in bottle. Sourced from old Nebbiolo vines in Serralunga d'Alba, it shows extraordinary complexity: dried and fresh berries, fig, potpourri, Christmas spice, tobacco leaf, graphite and orange zest, wrapped in dense yet elegant tannins.
ランゲ ネッビオーロ
Langhe Nebbiolo
RedNebbiolo
Azelia's Langhe Nebbiolo is Nebbiolo in its purest, most immediate form — sourced from younger vines and declassified Barolo-zone fruit, then aged entirely in steel to preserve freshness and varietal character. Expect violet and floral aromatics, juicy cherry, strawberry and currant fruit, and the zesty acidity that makes Nebbiolo so food-friendly, all at a fraction of the price and wait of Azelia's Barolo bottlings.
