The 2019 Paolo Scavino Barolo “Prapò” DOCG is a powerful and structured single-vineyard Nebbiolo from the renowned Prapò cru in Serralunga d’Alba, an area celebrated for producing some of Barolo’s most age-worthy wines. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo and aged in a combination of large casks and barriques, it reflects the estate’s signature balance of precision and modern elegance. The site’s calcareous marl soils contribute to the wine’s depth, structure and longevity. The nose is intense and complex, showing black cherry, dried rose and red currant, layered with notes of liquorice, spice, leather and subtle balsamic and mineral nuances.
On the palate, it is full-bodied with dense, finely grained tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering concentrated dark fruit, savoury depth and a rich, structured texture. The finish is long, powerful and persistent, with impressive complexity and ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout cru Barolo for collectors and serious Nebbiolo lovers, offering both intensity and refinement. It benefits from decanting if opened young or can be cellared for 15–20+ years. Perfect with braised beef, game, truffle dishes or aged cheeses.
