Light ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Beautiful nose right out of the bottle, with wild flowers, herbs and light oak.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with raspberries, strawberries, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn and chocolates.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old Barolo is drinking very nicely now. Big, bold and beautiful. Tasty and easy drinking.
Still young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
This Single Vineyard Barolo is a good food wine, and good by itself too.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large oak barrels for 18 months.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$80.

The 2019 Barolo Prapò is packed with dark fruit, leather, smoke, tobacco, incense and mocha. The darker, more somber side of Serralunga comes through in this decidedly virile, imposing Barolo. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2023)

Castor bean, game juices, porcini, black tea, grated spice. Touch of camphor. Massive structure, with hard- but integrated- tannins. Classic Serralunga Barolo from an all-time great vintage. #germano #barolo #prapo #nebbiolo

This is a pretty big and juicy Barolo. Darker and more intense than most it has rich fruit with plenty of plums and spices. There's the classic tar and rose present too but not the body defying intensity. Instead, the intensity is entirely consistent with the concentrated styling of this wine. Decidedly hedonistic right now.

Cherry, plum, leather and firm tannins. Lacking perfume.

New to me, so eager to taste. Well handled tannins for 2011, but verging on over-extraction. Obviously a 3 Biccheri wine but who gives a fuck?
