Paolo Scavino Prapò Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Ratings on Delectable

Jay Kline Delectable Pro

Prapò may not be particularly well known but its location in Serralunga d’Alba, directly below Cerretta, should be a good indication of its quality and potential. That being said, there are only a half dozen producers making Prapò today. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2020 pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a mix of tart and ripe, predominately red fruits: raspberries, Maraschino cherries, strawberry, along with whole peaches, roses, green herbs, stony minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. The orchard peach character shows a bit more prominently here while the rest of the palate seems a bit taciturn, maybe even austere. The finish is medium+. Quite a treat, if not a touch cerebral. Drink now with patience through 2040.
