The morning started at Silvano Bolmida, a small family winery, where Francesco, the owner's son, shared insights about their wines and operations. We had an engaging discussion while tasting four wines, which gave us valuable context about the Barolo region. We enjoyed a superb lunch in La Morra before heading to our last stop, Paolo Scavino. There, we toured the production facilities and cellars, tasting six different wines, including their excellent Dolcetto d’Alba and the flagship Barolo ‘Bric del Fiasc’. Alessio, being a producer himself, had personal connections with both winemakers and brought great expertise about the region's wine culture and history. I highly recommend him.”— archiegham
