Enrico Scavino, who now owns vineyards in all of Barolo's most famous villages with the exception of Monforte d'Alba, has produced a lovely set of 2010 Barolos with an early balance that he believes makes them easier to like than the 2009s, which he says were tannic and austere at the beginning."The 2009s started out closed and tough as nails, which is nothing new for Barolo," he told me."In comparison, the 2010s are virtually ready to drink at the start."Scavino, incidentally, is another fan of the 2011 barberas, which he describes as structured and perfectly balanced, "but not with too much acidity."Scavino told me he is normally among the first harvesters, as he seeks "to preserve acidity and freshness."

Enrico Scavino and his daughters Enrica and Elisa have turned out a fabulous set of 2009 Barolos. Within the context of the year, the wines are rich, layered and full of personality. Site-specific signatures - such a challenge to capture in 2009 - are very much present. Relative to most other 2009 Barolos, the Scavino wines are dark in color yet mostly translucent. Overall, this is one of the more impressive collections of 2009s I tasted. The best wines are clearly among the highlights of the vintage.
