Tasting Notes
The 2013 Barolo Prapò exudes resonance, with all of the breadth and richness that is typical of this site. Creamy and beautifully textured, the 2013 wraps around the palate with fabulous depth from start to finish. Dark red cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and rose petal overtones are fused into the deep, voluptuous finish. This is one of the most polished, refined Barolos I have ever tasted from Prapò, a Serralunga site that tends to yield firm, muscular Barolos. Feb 2017, www.vinous.com

What fascinating aromas of perfume and flowers with dried-citrus undertones. Strawberries, too. Full body, chewy tannins and a vivid finish. Ethereal in many ways. Try drinking in 2022. Great value considering the quality. Feb 2017, www.jamessuckling.com
Usually one of the heartiest and substantial wines in the Ceretto lineup, the 2013 Barolo Prapo delivers a more understated and graceful performance in this vintage. The bouquet reveals fine aromas of wild berry and blueberry with spice, licorice, white truffle, tar and cured tobacco. Serralunga d'Alba shows dark fruit flavors and plenty of aromatic intensity for sure. But this vintage feels buoyant and bright instead with fine texture and long persistence. Pretty floral aromas of rose and summer lavender appear on the close. Jun 2017, www.robertparker.com
