Luigi and his son Lorenzo are obsessive about obtaining only the most perfectly ripe bunches - this is the foundation of their impressive and honest wine making. Luigi only accepts grapes from vines over 35yo for Azelia Baroli. This admirable insistence is married perfectly to their sympathetic vinification (including a non-reliance on new\/small-format oak) and their excellently sited holdings in the great crus - all reasons for extreme greatness. The plenitude of glowing and high scoring reviews below only offer a small snapshot of the enthusiasm that many critics share with myself for these wines.  As they continue to age they will be cherished parts of any cellar. \u003cbr\u003eCheers, Randall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'One of the major goals of the modern school of Barolo was to make wines that were approachable young, but that could also age. In my opinion there are three producers who consistently achieved that goal at a high level; Luciano Sandrone, Elio Altare and Luigi Scavino of Azelia. Of these growers, Scavino is the least well known, and because of that, his wines remain favorably priced.'
