Tasting Notes
Crafted by the fifth-generation Scavino family, this pure expression of Nebbiolo bridges the prestigious terroirs of Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba. Sourced from estate vines averaging 20 years of age that could otherwise qualify for Barolo production, the fruit experienced a warm 2020 growing season that promoted excellent primary ripeness. Deviating from traditional large oak casks, Azelia intentionally refines this cuvée exclusively in stainless steel tanks to emphasize pristine varietal clarity.
The wine displays a brilliantly vivid red-ruby hue, opening with bright, airy aromatics of violet florals, crushed red berries, and subtle hints of lemon peel.
On the palate, a lively core of juicy raspberry, wild strawberry, and tart redcurrant is framed by incredibly fine-grained, ripe tannins.
Acclaimed critic Antonio Galloni captures the essence of this steel-aged architecture, noting that this "light-bodied, aromatic Nebbiolo is all charm". The finish remains lingering and highly refreshing, anchored by a zesty, attractive acidity that delivers instantaneous, youthful drinkability.
