Coming Up
Early in her career, Enrica Scavino worked as winemaker at Paolo Scavino in Castiglione Falletto, beginning her path with a role rooted in one of the Langhe’s most closely watched estates. It is the kind of start that places a young winemaker directly in the current of a region where every season is listened to closely, and where style, patience, and memory are all part of the conversation. At Paolo Scavino, the work is place: the rhythms of the estate, the discipline of the cellar, and the long view demanded by a landscape such as Castiglione Falletto.
Enrica’s name became associated with that setting not through noise, but through exactness, the sort of calm authority that comes from observing closely and speaking only when the vintage has fully revealed itself. That approach is reflected in the way she frames a year like 2016. Rather than reaching for general praise, she lands on a sentence that feels both spare and expansive: "2016 is the vintage that producers all dream of."
The line carries the weight of experience, suggesting a year that arrived with a kind of natural balance and generosity, the sort of season that invites careful work rather than correction. In a region where vintage character can shift the entire mood of a wine, her precision feels especially telling. It suggests a winemaker attentive to nuance, to what the grapes give, and to the difference between a good year and the kind of year that defines a cellar’s memory.
