Azelia. Need I say more?

Everyone loves Lorenzo!

As he is smart, well spoken, fashionable, and handsome. Everything you want in a winemaker, right?  Lorenzo is the youngest generation of the Scavino family, working alongside his father Luigi and his mother Lorella he is learning to one day take over the family winery.

The founder of Azelia was in 1920 to Lorenzo’s great great great grandfather Cavalier Lorenzo Scavino. Lorenzo is the 5th generation and is the first son to take the name of his grandfather (lots of responsibility). Luigi (the big boss) as Lorenzo calls his father, really saw an opportunity to utilize some of the modern techniques both in the vineyard and in the winery. Thus allowing Luigi with his keen eye for quality and light touch of elegance allows Azelia to produce some of Castagnole Falletto’s most exciting wines. While they are neither traditional nor modern, a bit of both I would say. They work in a way that shows the strength and elegance of the Barolo area. 

The family’s understanding of the importance of the quality of work done in the vineyards to bring in an exceptional grape has been very much engrained even into the 5th generation. If you follow Lorenzo on Instagram you will see that he spends most of his time amongst the vines. A peaceful work he seems to enjoy very much. 

The family works only with red grape varieties, and has a great lineup of the Langhe’s most important varietals; Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and of course Barolo.
