Extremely fragrant: enveloping flowers and fruits, endless, with in particular a heart of red fruit. Rich and warm in the mouth, intensely fresh. Ripe tannins.

Azelia by Luigi Scavino

The Azelia Farm is located in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, a small town in the heart of the Barolo production area. Founded in 1920 by Cavalier Lorenzo Scavino, Luigi's great-grandfather, the company initially represented a small farming reality. Luigi's grandfather, Alfonso, then decided to vinify the grapes from the estate's vineyards and began to bottle the wine produced. Now Luigi continues to apply his father's teachings, combining them with the right amount of modern techniques, without excluding respect for tradition, and exclusively vinifies grapes from estate-owned vineyards. The work in the vineyards is rigorous since the success of an excellent wine depends almost essentially on the careful work in the vineyard: all operations are carried out manually and scrupulous attention is paid to the green harvest, one of the most important methods for obtaining excellent quality bunches. The vineyards are located in Castiglione Falletto, Serralunga d'Alba and Montelupo Albese for a vineyard surface area of ​​16 hectares, and a production of approximately 80,000 bottles per year.
