2010 Barolo Prapo

Tasting notes
A touch of roasted coffee beans on a spicy nose. Immediately seductive. There is a firmness to the fruit here and an undeniable polish in the mouth. Exquisitely silky, with firm power underneath the gloss. This is begging to be drunk, though will blossom in time. Quite lovely.

With toasted and savory aromas, the 2010 Barolo Prapo shows a heavier, more masculine bouquet compared to the more ethereal Brunate expression. Barolo Prapo moves with thicker lines and inner determination. It's a wine of power and heft that has the staying power to withstand many long years in the cellar. Despite its youth, it boasts a complex side with contrasting tones of red cherry, spice and crushed mineral that form a seamless, supple finish.
The 2010 Barolo Prapò is one of the most beautiful young Barolos I have tasted from Ceretto in a long time. Deep, layered and beautifully expressive, yet also mysterious, the 2010 exudes class and that warm, Serralunga resonance that is unique to the Barolos of the village. Sage, roasted coffee beans, licorice and new leather are some of the notes that emerge over time, all framed by firm, muscular tannins that suggest a long life lies ahead. Today, the 2010 Prapò is majestic. It also has plenty of room to grow from here. Drink: 2020 - 2030
