i. Biography
Elisa Scavino works in Barolo from Castiglione Falletto, where the discipline of the wine is the place it comes from. Born in Cuneo, near the French border, she comes from a landscape where culture, memory, and daily life are closely held; in that setting, her work reads as steady and exact rather than theatrical.
Coming Up
Training at Oenology School in Alba and University in Turin gave Elisa Scavino the technical base that winemaking asks for: study, repetition, and attention to detail. That education shaped a practice that balances method with patience, and it remains visible in the way Paolo Scavino is carried forward under her care. As family proprietor and winemaker, she treats tradition as something worked with, not simply inherited.
Where They Are Now
At Paolo Scavino in Piedmont, Italy, Elisa Scavino’s focus remains Barolo. The work is framed by observation and restraint, with the vineyard and cellar kept in dialogue rather than treated as separate worlds. “I believe in careful observation and respect of nature.” That approach fits a craft that depends on reading conditions closely and responding without forcing the outcome. She also points to moon cycles as part of a practice with long history: “I think it's very interesting to follow the moon cycles, which has been a traditional practice for many centuries.” In her hands, that mix of technical attention and inherited rhythm is part of the method.
Signature
Elisa's signature wines include Barolo Bric dël Fiasc 2010, Monvigliero, Carobric, Cannubi, and Bric del Fiasc. Together, these names show the range of her work within Barolo, and they keep the focus on site, selection, and continuity at Paolo Scavino. The throughline is precision: wines that stay tied to the identity of the estate while reflecting close attention to nuance.
In Their Words “I think it's very interesting to follow the moon cycles, which has been a traditional practice for many centuries.” “I believe in careful observation and respect of nature.”
