Azelia Di Luigi Scavino

Azelia is owned by the family of Luigi Scavino. It was founded by his great grandfather, Lorenzo, in 1920 who was the first to bottle wines from the family’s vineyards. The small family estate in Castiglione Faletto has acquired over four generations some of the region’s finest vineyards including the famed cru Bricco Fiasco. The family farms 16ha of vines in the communes of Castiglione and Serralunga on both Helvetian and Tortonian soils. While the wines of the ‘90s were considered part of Marc diGrazia’s ‘Barolo Boys’ modernist movement, today the focus is intensely on the work in the vineyard. Old vines and rigorous green harvesting in the vineyard along with organic farming techniques ensure that little intervention in the winery is necessary.
