Description
1980 Nebbiolo – Giovanni Scanavino (Piedmont, Italy)
A fully mature, classical Nebbiolo that favours perfume and savoury finesse. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, the bouquet lifts with dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, with hints of orange peel, tea leaf and a gentle tar/balsamic note. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-world acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle underbrush; tannins are fine and resolved. The finish is long and tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.
Producer note: Bottled by Giovanni Scanavino, an old-school Langhe house working in the traditional Nebbiolo register—large old casks and bottle age to emphasise elegance, aromatic lift and graceful maturity.
Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast chicken with herbs, tajarin with butter and sage, porcini risotto, aged alpine cheeses.
