The Wines of Azienda Agricola Azelia

Description Written by Chat GPT There are estates that produce Barolo, and then there are estates that interpret it. During a recent tasting of the wines from Azienda Agricola Azelia, the distinction became beautifully clear. Based in Castiglione Falletto in the heart of the Barolo zone, this historic family estate crafts Nebbiolo with both reverence and quiet confidence. Philosophy and Style Founded in 1920 and now led by Luigi Scavino and his son Lorenzo, Azelia bridges tradition and precision.

Shiraz has a reputation for being big, bold, and sometimes overpowering, and going into this tasting, we weren’t entirely convinced it would suit our palate. But as always, wine has a way of surprising you. From the outset, the wine shows a deep, rich purple colour, exactly what you’d expect from a classic Shiraz. On the nose, we found: • Pepper and spice • Smoky notes • Dark fruit, including blackcurrant • A hint of sour cherry There’s plenty going on aromatically, with a complexity that suggests this could be more than just a typical budget Shiraz. On the palate, this wine takes a slightly different direction… Instead of being heavy and aggressive, it’s noticeably lighter, smoother, and more approachable than expected. The fruit comes through more clearly, with cherry and spice leading the way, supported by soft tannins and a balanced fini
