2012  Fiano di Avellino

100% Fiano from the Fiano di Avellino appellation in Campania. 13.5%alc, 1,670 cases produced. -- Tenuta Scuotto aims to provide the market with products that are different, yet authentic expression of the terroir; products which are able to convey their unique identity when tasted. Each aspect of their production is characterised by respect for the territory, at the same time avoiding uniformity: limited quantity to achieve the best, attention to detail, selective harvesting done by hand and finally ageing. Our ambition is represented by the idea of matching Tenuta SCUOTTO's wine with a well-defined lifestyle - true pleasure implies no compromise on quality.

2010  Tenuta Montebello IGT

"A compelling blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the 2010 Picconero Tenuta Montebello packs a powerful punch in terms of density and concentration. This expression is rich and chewy with dark cherry and blackberry as protagonist. Solid supporting roles are played by tobacco, spice and bitter dark chocolate. The 2010 vintage shows a superior sense of finesse and silkiness in the mouth. Picconero can be put aside for long cellar aging." - 94pts WA

The estate of "Virna", owned for over a century by the Borgogno family, is situated in Barolo at the center of the Langhe. Virna today extends over 12 hectares of some of the most important "crus" in Barolo: Cannubi Boschis, Preda, Sarmassa, I Merli, San Giovanni, and Costa delle Rose. Virna creates several Barolos from these crus, all of which come from her own grapes. Virna’s Barolo is all about the land, the history, and the traditions of her ancestors. Virna represents the latest generation of the Borgogno family and after completing her studies in enology at the winemaking school in Alba in 1988, she joined her father Lodovico in the running of the family farm, and three years later she became the first woman in winemaking techniques from Turin University. In 1996 she married Giovanni Abrigo, who looks after the vineyards and the viticultural side of the estate. Together they also run Azienda Agricola Orlando Abrigo in Treiso, which produces Barbaresco and some interesting white wines.

2014  

"The 2014 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is a wine of depth and substance. This Barolo achieves a very pretty level of density and power for what is a cooler vintage. Red rose aromas rise to the top but are quickly followed by more substantial tones of blackberry and ripe cherry. This is a mid-weight effort that is enhanced by finely tuned layers of spice and crushed stone. The wine needs a bit of time to open and put on volume, but once it does it sails forth with pride and purpose." - 93pts WA

2006  

The wine is created from two vineyards: the Preda vineyard, planted in 1965, which is predominately clay marl and produces rich perfume and elegance, and the Sarmassa vineyard, planted in 1973, rich in sand and clay, yielding strong character, full body and structure. Intense ruby red in color, the wine is all kinds of red fruits enveloped in vanilla on the nose. Dry, full, and rich in body and structure, this wine is interesting young, with a great potential for aging.
