Tasting Note

The 2017 Barolo Prapò is yet another stellar wine in this range. Dark and brooding in the glass, the Prapò expresses all of the natural weight of this Serralunga cru, but with more overt fruit and a bit less tannic heft than is often the case. That should make the 2017 a real pleasure to drink, with just a handful of years in the cellar. Succulent black cherry, licorice, menthol, gravel and cured meats build into the heady finish. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 95+/100

Product Notes

Hailing from the elite wine-making region of Italy, the Paolo Scavino Barolo Prapo is an exquisite red wine that emanates confidence and maturity. This sumptuous wine is characterised by its rich cherry-hued colour and an elegant bouquet of dark berries and plum, subtly complimented by notes of spices, cocoa, and earthy undercurrents. It divulges an intricate flavour profile marked by balanced acidity and robust tannins, resulting in a luxuriously full-bodied and captivating palate. The persistent and captivating finish is a sophisticated testament to the wine's elegant complexity. A truly indulgent Barolo, it's destined to leave a memorable impression.
