Paolo Scavino
パオロ・スカヴィーノ
A benchmark Barolo house spanning eight communes and iconic crus.
Founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto by Lorenzo Scavino and his son Paolo, this estate became one of Barolo's defining names under Paolo's son, Enrico Scavino, who joined the family the winery as a boy and later led its rise as one of the so-called 'Barolo Boys' — pioneers who blended traditional Nebbiolo winemaking with modern precision, favoring low yields, meticulous site selection, and restrained use of new oak over heavy extraction. Following Enrico's passing in 2024, his daughters Enrica (business) and Elisa (winemaking) continue the family legacy as the fourth generation. Today the estate farms roughly 30 hectares across eight of Barolo's eleven communes — Castiglione Falletto, Barolo, La Morra, Novello, Serralunga d'Alba, Verduno, Roddi, and Monforte d'Alba — producing a portfolio of celebrated single-vineyard Barolos including Bric dël Fiasc, Monvigliero, Cannubi, Rocche dell'Annunziata, Ravera, and Prapò, each vinified separately to express the character of its cru.
