Scavino Paolo

A name. A family. The name is that of the founder: Paolo Scavino, who in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of Langhe, in one of the historical municipalities of Barolo, has created a farm, beginning immediately to bottle the best wine.

The name has remained, even after the demise of Paolo Scavino. It is a memory, a sign of affection, gratitude. Today there are two other generations of Scavino: Enrico, who followed in his father Paolo’s footsteps since he was a child, and has always seen the fruits of his work grow, entering step by step, almost on tiptoes, in the Olympus of the Barolo producers; and the young Enrica and Elisa, the daughters of Enrico and Anna Maria, who are taking over the company with renovated passion and skills.

A family story of men and women of Langa, tied to their land, their vineyards, and to the slow paces, almost ancient, of the Piedmontese province. It seems that you can see the roots of the Scavino family in these lands, that are the fortune of people who were born here. In this place Barolo is obtained exclusively from native grapes of Nebbiolo, one of the greatest wines in the world. One of the few to speak the Piedmontese dialect, but everybody understands it, from the U.S.A. to Japan.
