2020 Paolo Scavino Barolo Prapo

“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.” Review Date: January 2024

“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. Drinking Window: 2026-2040” – Antonio Galloni Review Date: November 2023

“Prapò, a renowned Barolo cru, yields a captivating wine with dark red fruits and a super pretty 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. Drink 2025 - 2045” – Jeff Porter Review Date: September 2024

“Dark red in color, the 2020 Barolo Prapo displays a riper and sunnier profile, with rich aromas of black cherries, lavender oil, balsamic, and tarry earth. Medium to full-bodied, it’s weightless on the palate, with a savory note of tea leaf upfront as well as hints of cherry pit and walnut, and it has a long finish. It’s a bit more broad-shouldered but wears it with a graceful touch. Drink 2026-2046.” – Audrey Frick Review Date: May 2024
