description
Azeli is a small family-run company with more than 100 years of history, which for over 5 generations has cultivated exclusively the indigenous qualities of Dolcetto D'Alba, Barbera and Nebbiolo on the historic Barolo hills now recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The wine derives from old low yield vineyards, harvested by hand to select the best fruits and to preserve all their qualities.
Barolo Bricco Fiasco 2015 is the first separately vinified Cru produced since 1978 from vines over 85 years of age.
A real emblem of the work of this winery which encompasses all the personality of Castiglione Falletto.
A Barolo that as in the tradition of its grape variety strikes for harmony and elegance.
Rubino splendente che vira al granato.
Naso incantevole con i suoi respiri di iris e rosa uniti a mora e lampone e contrapposti a refoli balsamici, sottobosco e humus.
Assaggio fiero, armonico con grande acidità a suggellare la caratteristica fruttata su lunghissimi ricordi sapidi. Trama tannica fitta ma composta. Interminabile, può gratificare subito o si può attendere almeno un lustro per apprezzare ancora di più la sua profondità e grandezza.
Abbinamento ideale con selvaggina, carni e formaggi non molto stagionati.

Start-up year: 1920
Cultivated hectares: 16
Winemaker name: Luigi Scavino, Lorenzo Scavino
Address: Via Alba Barolo, 143 - Castiglione Falletto (CN)

In 1920 Cavalier Lorenzo Scavino began to vinify part of the grapes produced in the family's vineyards, a small rural reality in the heart of the Langhe region, in Castiglione Falletto. His son Alfonso started enthusiastically to bottle the wine produced and thanks to Luigi's father, Lorenzo, with perseverance and willpower, the wines were for the first time exported. The Azienda Agricola Azelia, in the centre of the area of Barolo production, is nowadays composed of 16 hectares and it produces, on average, 80,000 bottles per year. Luigi is supported by his wife Lorella and his son Lorenzo, who bears the name of his grandfather and who represents the fifth generation of wine producers. The family management is essential as it permits an extreme precision in every step of the production. Great care is given to the work in the vineyards. Wine is made there from old vines which produce very few grapes. The low yields are further reduced through the green harvest, indispensable to select fruits, to have a uniform ripening and an impeccable quality. It is fundamental a scrupulous attention in the cellar where the respect for the tradition does not exclude the contribution of modern techniques.
