Paolo Scavino Barolo 2017
$54
An expression of bright cherry, plum and licorice marks this supple red. Fleshy and balanced, with a line of firm, chalky tannins girding the tar- and eucalyptus-tinged finish. Should be enjoyable soon. Best from 2023 through 2035. 2,917 cases made, 50 cases imported.

Grape

Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
