Description
Located on the cooler side of the Serralunga ridge, with a south-east-facing aspect, Prapò delivers a classic expression of the commune, that teeters towards the austere. But, however firm they may appear, the tannins are ripe and deliver an intensity and verticality to the wine’s expression. The fruit is compact and precise, hinting at sour cherry, and certainly offer more of a red fruit than a black tea or herbal expression. This is a wine that demands – and wins – attention.

Critics reviews
Georgie Hindle 94/100
Ceretto is a biodynamic estate and this wine seems to demonstrate the stature of their vineyards. The nose of this Prapò is extremely graceful – violet, cinnamon, almost sage, and blood orange – expressing all the elegance of Cerretta, to which this MGA is very close. Refreshing and velvety, almost smooth, it's a precise Barolo full of elegance despite some warmth on the dusty, fierce finish.

Antonio Galloni 95/100
The 2019 Barolo Prapò is probably the most finessed Prapò I have ever tasted from Ceretto. Dark cherry, plum, lavender, rose petal, menthol, licorice and spice are all amplified in this broad, explosive Barolo. A huge kick of Serralunga acid and tannin punctuates the finish.
