The tannins have a full and round grain.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "The 2020 Barolo Prapò is another impressive wine from the Scavino family in this vintage. Dark and somber, with plenty of Serralunga tannin, the 2020 impresses with its superb balance and class. Dark fruit, iron, leather, menthol and espresso build as this dramatic, wonderfully resonant Barolo shows off its stylish personality. Elegance and power."


Wine Enthusiast - "Prapò, a renowned Barolo cru, yields a captivating wine with dark red fruits and a superpretty nose. Lifted herbal notes intertwine with fruit and earth, creating a harmonious blend. The texture is elegant and the well-balanced tannins provide structure. A stunning expression of Nebbiolo from a top-tier vineyard."


James Suckling - "Seductive and charming with cherries, crushed raspberries, warm herbs, bark and baking spices. Full body with fine tannins and bright acidity. Well-weighted with a succulent core of sour cherries and red currants at the center and a dash of citrus too. Focused and poised with a long finish. Try after 2028."
