This is a bold and opulent wine that sources its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba. The Paolo Scavino 2017 Barolo Prapò delivers rich fruit weight, with plummy black fruit, blackcurrant, iron ore, spice and cured spice. The vines at this site were replanted in 2008 and the fruit shows depth and authenticity, thanks to their advancing age. You get lingering mineral tones of rust and iron that marry this wine to a sense of place. The finish is bold but moderate in length.

Tasting Note
There is a hint of oak spice in the aromas, but the flavors are all about black cherry and blackberry fruit, accented by iron and tobacco. Its tightly packed tannins are present yet refined, and this red finishes long. Best from 2024 through 2043. 358 cases made, 60 cases imported. — BS
