Riserva connotes the highest quality wine in Italy. Italian law requires winemakers to age their Barolo for at least five years before release. When it comes to Paolo Scavino Barolo Rocche dell’Annunziata Riserva, it produces an otherworldly experience. After trying the 2000 vintage, wine critic James Suckling said, “What a wine.” Remember that the Barolo Riserva label only appears on top-tier vintages; otherwise, it’s called Barolo.

“Impeccably balanced, structured, and loaded with finesse.” That is just one of the many effusive lines in Kerin O’Keefe’s review of 2016 Paolo Scavino Barolo Cannubi. This nebbiolo delivers a tightly spooled core of red fruit that unwinds into white pepper, licorice, and wild herb notes. Investors can hold this red wine for upward of 20 years.
