Prapò is a small vineyard, directly below Sergio’s house and cellar. The oldest vines in Prapò were planted in 1967 by Sergio’s father, with some sections replanted more recently. The Barolo from this vineyard is one of my favorites in the whole appellation. It shows aromas and flavors of red-currants, dark chocolate (this is not related to oak, and is a typical Serralunga note, Sergio tells me), sandalwood, true cinnamon, licorice and tar; in structure it is chewy yet still elegant, and it ages incomparably.

Aromas of underbrush, camphor, pine forest and toasted nut form the nose. Linear and firm, the nervous palate features dried cherry, hazelnut and tobacco set against taut, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023–2028. Kerin O’Keefe
