Nestled in the Barolo DOCG zone of Italy's Piedmont region, Scarzello Giorgio e Figli, translating to "Scarzello George and Sons" in English, is a family-run winery with a rich history that spans several generations. Giorgio Scarzello, the founder, laid the foundation for what would become a respected name in Italian winemaking. Over the years, the family has upheld a commitment to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Langhe region.
The vineyards are situated in some of the most prized locations within Barolo, known for their optimal soil composition and microclimates ideal for cultivating the Nebbiolo grape, the cornerstone of Barolo wines.
One of the distinguishing features of Scarzello Giorgio e Figli is their dedication to traditional winemaking methods. While embracing modern techniques where beneficial, they maintain a deep respect for the time-honoured practices that have defined Barolo winemaking for centuries. This commitment to tradition is evident in every aspect of their winemaking process, from vineyard management to grape selection, fermentation, and ageing.
The wines produced by Scarzello Giorgio e Figli are characterised by their elegance, complexity, and ability to age gracefully. The flagship wine, Barolo, is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the nuances of the specific vineyard sites from which the grapes are sourced. In addition to Barolo, the winery also produces other varietals typical of the region, such as Barbera and Dolcetto.
