Tasting notes
The 2019 Barolo Prapò (with fruit from Serralunga d'Alba) is a rich and amply fleshed-out wine with dark fruit aromas, plenty of spice and dried rose, along with grilled rosemary and cola. You also get that reddish, metallic earthy note that appears so frequently in wines from this part of the appellation. The finish is medium-rich and fresh. Some 9,000 bottles were made.

The 2019 Barolo Prapò is packed with dark fruit, leather, smoke, tobacco, incense and mocha. The darker, more somber side of Serralunga comes through in this decidedly virile, imposing Barolo.
45 days on the skins. Aged for 24 months in large oak casks. Just mid ruby. Inviting cherry and cranberry nose. A suggestion of oak adds a suave touch but retreats into the background with aeration. Orange and a hint of eucalyptus. After a while, subtle mineral and saline hints emerge from the glass. Tingle of black pepper. Supple, fresh red fruit with firm grip of superfine tannins. Very long and animating and with the fresh, concentrated red fruit anchored in the finely ground, endlessly long tannins. (WS)
