Paolo Scavino Rosso is a high-quality red wine produced by the renowned Paolo Scavino winery in the Piedmont region of Italy. The wine is made from a blend of local grape varieties, including Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto, sourced from the winery's own vineyards in the Barolo appellation. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides with varying exposures and soil types, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and refined, with a balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins, making it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes.
