About this winery

Azelia is still something of a Barolo lover's secret. Though the estate is not a high-profile one, proprietor Luigi Scavino is cousin of Enrico Scavino of the renowned Paolo Scavino estate, and shares ownership of the famed Fiasco hill in Castiglione Falletto with him.

Antonio Galloni, April 2012 (Vintage 2001)

The 2001 Barolo Bricco Fiasco is one of the most impressive wines in this ten-year retrospective of the 2001 Baroli. The Bricco Fiasco remains vibrant, fresh and beautifully delineated from start to finish. Bright flowers, ripe red cherries, mint and iron flow onto the palate in this gorgeous, totally impeccable Barolo. The 2001 doesn't taste or feel that much different than it did as a young wine. There is plenty of energy and focus for the 2001 to make it to its 20th birthday. If opened today the wine needs at least a few hours of air for the tannins to soften.

October 2005 (Vintage 2001)

A soft and ripe red with plum and cherry character and just a hint of meat. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish.

September 2014 (Vintage 2001)

Savoury and with the beginning of dried fruit and hints of camphor. Youthful sappy fruit and sweet ripe tannins on the finish. Lots of potential.
