Azelia’s superb 2016 Barolos are on their way! We’re offering special pre-arrival pricing on these stunners. Due to arrive in next week, but don’t wait... we are almost sold out! 

Luigi Scavino’s small family owned estate has vineyards in both Castiglione Falletto (Bricco Fiasco with sandy soils) and Serralunga d'Alba (Margheria, San Rocco and Bricco Voghera for the Riserva). Scavino’s judicious use of oak for ageing (mainly large cask and usually neutral) produces pure vibrant expressions of Nebbiolo from these exceptional Barolo Crus. These are impeccably balanced wines that reward cellaring yet are appealing to the palate even in their youth. Vinous Media, Wine Advocate and James Suckling all agree these 2016s are incredible. With approximately 500 cases of each of these made there’s not much available. The 2016 vintage in Barolo overall looks to be a total knockout. Barolo fans don’t miss them!

Azelia Barolo Bricco Fiasco 2016 - $85.99 net

96 pts Vinous Media / 96 pts Wine Advocate / 96 pts James Suckling

“The 2016 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is a glorious wine. Sweet red cherry, mint, iron, rose petal and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that grace this exquisite, beautifully layered Barolo. A wine of subtlety, nuance and grace, the 2016 has so much to offer. I don't remember ever tasting a Bricco Fiasco with this level of finesse and nuance. Two thousand sixteen is the first vintage in which the Bricco Fiasco is aged part in cask and part in barrique. All I can say is: Wow!” - VM

Azelia Barolo Margheria 2016 - $85.99 net

95+ pts Vinous Media / 95+ pts Wine Advocate / 95 pts James Suckling

“The 2016 Barolo Margheria shows the natural weight and gravitas of Serralunga in its dark flavor profile and textural resonance. Black cherry, plum, lavender, spice, mint, chalk and bright saline notes are all laced throughout. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2016 possesses tremendous persistence and class to burn. Wilder suggestions of sage and lavender add savory top notes, while searing tannins punctuate the finish.” - VM

Azelia Barolo San Rocco 2016 - $85.99 net

96 pts James Suckling / 95 pts Wine Advocate / 94 pts Vinous Media

“Azelia's 2016 Barolo San Rocco shows terrific density and richness, but it is less aromatically expressive than most of the other 2016s in the range. Readers will have to give this at least a few years in bottle for the tannins to soften. Even in the early going, though, the 2016 is deep, powerful and loaded with pedigree. Now that most of Azelia's wines are aged in cask, the influence of small French oak is especially evident.” – VM
