Scarzello, Barolo
Federico Scarzello er en meget ung, ambitiøs, kompromisløs og charmerende Piemontesisk vinbonde, som laver dybe, intense og klassiske Piemonte vine.
Mødte Federico Scarzello på anbefaling af Nino Rocca, den koleriske kok på Da Felicin i Monforte D'Alba, vi søgte efter en ung og lovende producent med et rimeligt forhold mellem pris og kvalitet.

Barolo. Approximately 35 days on the skins. Bottled 15 September 2019. Mid ruby. Deep, dark and intriguing nose of cherry and balsamic notes with a hint of dried-out fire log. Needs to take a deep breath. Intense and stylish with great depth, length, freshness and tannic bite. (WS)
Lustrous and just mid ruby. Earthy, minerally, sweet cherry with an undertow of mace and Amaro (herb liqueur). Supple, expressive cherry fruit with muscular, but well-behaved tannins. Very long and with lots of juice on the finish. - Walter Speller
Just mid ruby with orange tinges. Really reluctant and closed on the nose, but there is huge focus and proper fruit, no oxidative or dried-fruit notes. Very compact and lithe and with finely built tannins. - Walter Speller
Anderledes frisk næse med noter af syrlige kirsebær, fish sauce og hvid peber. Ganske spicy i munden. de 14 ½ % alkohol giver varme, og frugten er sødmefuld og mørk i udtrykket. Scarzello er en glimrende barbera-producent, og deres barolo holder også et pænt niveau. En af de mere drikkeklare vine i testen.
Total skin maceration of 50 days. A blend of Sarmassa and a little bit of Terlo aged in 25-hl cask and old French oak. The malolactic fermentation happened more or less at the same time as the alcoholic fermentation because the malic acid was very low that year. Mid ruby with the beginning of orange. Quite open and ripe with loads of distinct Nebbiolo cherry and hints of iron, spice and orange peel. Wonderful succulence and with proper grip of bittersweet, stalky tannins. Great length. Can already be approached now. - Walter Speller
