Scrimaglio
Dating back to the 17th century, the Scrimaglio family's journey began when they sought refuge in Piedmont, leaving behind their French origins. It was in 1920, Pietro Scrimaglio laid the foundation for a winemaking legacy that would span generations. Building on his father's work, he set the stage for future success.

Scrimaglio embodies "Character, clarity, and precision" in their approach to Piedmontese grape varieties. Their wines beautifully blend tradition and innovation, paying homage to their homeland. Scrimaglio follows a purely traditional style complemented by modern winemaking techniques, all in the service of highlighting the unique qualities of each wine without overdoing it.

2019 was an extraordinary vintage in Barolo. Wine Advocate blessed this year with a 96-point review, and Vinous Media said, "The 2019s are potent, tightly wound Barolos that will thrill readers who appreciate the nuance, subtlety, and structure of Nebbiolo. Today, the 2019s show elements of youthful austerity that at times recall vintages such as 2016, 2005, and 1999."

“Barolo is more than one of the world's great wines and a partner to one of Italy's most varied and refined cuisines. It's an evocative landscape of gently rolling hills covered by a quilt of vineyards and topped by medieval villages with winding cobblestone streets and views to the Alps.” ~ Wine Spectator.
