A solid Prapo with medium body and firm and polished tannins that give length and structure. Berry, flower and spice character. Give it time to soften and show its true self. Try after 2027.

An aromatic red, with cherry, plum and truffle notes embraced by sweet spices and toasty oak. The tannins build as this evolves on the palate, yet this is balanced, expressive and long overall, with a succulent feel in the end. Best from 2027 through 2046. 284 cases made, 83 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the Schiavenza 2019 Barolo Prapò is a bulky wine with extra fruit weight and raw oak tones that are a long way from integrated. This wine pushes hard over the palate thanks to a powerful 15% alcohol content that is difficult to coincide with a grape as fragile and elegant as Nebbiolo. Fruit is drawn from a site with tuffaceous soils at 300 meters in elevation. These are two factors that accelerate ripeness. This is a 3,300-bottle release.

A fleshy style, featuring generous cherry, raspberry, plum, eucalyptus, leather and oak spice flavors, while burly tannins guard the long aftertaste. Rich enough to approach now, yet better in two to three years. Best from 2026 through 2045.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The 2018 Barolo Prapò (with fruit from Serralunga d'Alba) opens to a rich fabric of black fruit and toasted spice. The Prapò is a powerful wine with dark oak renderings and 15% alcohol. This bigger style of Barolo will require more cellar time to soften and maybe a heavier meat dish with a reduction sauce.
