Tasting notes
The 2006 Barolo Prapò flows with deep layers of dark fruit, iron, smoke and tar. This is a decidedly powerful, brooding Barolo that shows the muscular side of Nebbiolo for which Serralunga is well-known. The finish is round, generous and hugely rewarding.

Serralunga d'Alba. Pale-ish ruby with watery garnet rim. Leather notes and kitchen spice at first glance. Subdued but very well balanced palate. Sweet, rich and balanced on the finish too. Old school in its (dried) fruit focus, but impressive in its length and structure. (WS)
