Barolo, Prapo

Notes

Another Barolo making its debut here. Enrico bought the plot in 2008 and re-worked the soil, planting the vineyard in 2010 with a massale selection from across the estate. So, despite their young age, the vines here are producing less bunches and smaller grapes than under the previous ownership. It is an open and windy site, steep and south facing. The wine is powerful but compact. Tannic, very tight-knit chalky tannins. Intense but svelte dark berry, spice and blood orange flavours. There is also tremendous mineral, saline energy and complexity completing the picture. Driven, toned and muscular but very accomplished.

Notes

Another new wine in this range, the 2015 Barolo Prapò is superb. Dark and powerful, with tons of Serralunga muscle, the Prapò captures the purest essence of this site in spades. Black cherry, iron, sage, plum, leather, spice and menthol race out of the glass as this virile, explosive Barolo shows off its arrestingly beautiful personality. Vivid and deep in the glass, the 2015 has so much to offer. Even in the early going, it is positively gorgeous.
