About

Rating:

Ettore Germano's Prapò is planted on marl and clay soil. The grapes were macerated for 40 days in 2019, and the wine aged in big oak casks for 24 months. Sleek, with leafy lightness to the fore, the nose is poised with sweet violet, cinnamon and the freshness of red currants. The attack is crunchy with crisp acidity, then a grainy texture and a stern finish. This is a very classic example of Barolo from Serralunga. It doesn't come across as over-extracted but still needs more time before drinking.

Product Description:

Prapò (the site that Vinous's Ian d'Agata calls "a Grand Cru for Nebbiolo'') is elegant and lithe by comparison. The style and grace of Prapò is what this site is all about, and Germano captures it perfectly.
