Paolo Scavino’s Barolo 'Prapò' 2020 is a stunning expression of one of Barolo’s most iconic vineyards. Located in the renowned Prapò cru in the heart of the Barolo region, this wine combines the power and complexity typical of Nebbiolo with the finesse that Paolo Scavino is known for. The 2020 vintage reflects the vineyard’s exceptional terroir, producing a wine that balances boldness with elegance, offering layers of flavor and a structure that promises great aging potential.

The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of dark cherries, blackberries, and hints of rose petal, a classic Barolo bouquet. Underneath the fruit, there’s a delicate note of tobacco and earthy spice, adding depth and complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and finely structured, with silky tannins that provide a solid backbone, allowing the fruit to shine through. The wine’s bright acidity keeps it fresh, while the finish is long and nuanced, revealing lingering notes of spice, floral elements, and a touch of minerality.

Paolo Scavino’s Barolo 'Prapò' 2020 is a wine built for aging, with the potential to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more. It pairs beautifully with rich meats, truffle dishes, or aged cheeses, and its complexity makes it a wine that rewards time in the glass. For those who appreciate Barolo with both elegance and depth, this wine is an exceptional choice.

"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." —Vinous

"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."
