Tasting Note

The 2017 Barolo Prapò is yet another stellar wine in this range. Dark and brooding in the glass, the Prapò expresses all of the natural weight of this Serralunga cru, but with more overt fruit and a bit less tannic heft than is often the case. That should make the 2017 a real pleasure to drink, with just a handful of years in the cellar. Succulent black cherry, licorice, menthol, gravel and cured meats build into the heady finish. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 95+/100

This exceptional wine is made from Nebbiolo grapes grown in the Prapo vineyard, known for its steep slopes and mineral-rich soil.

On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of fruit, acidity, and tannins, creating a velvety texture and a long, lingering finish. This wine is aged in French oak barrels for 24 months, adding layers of depth and complexity. Paolo Scavino Barolo Prapo is a true masterpiece, showcasing the best of Italian winemaking traditions.

About the Winery

Paolo Scavino

Paolo Scavino is an Italian wine producer that traces its roots back to the Barolo region of Piedmont. The revered winery dates back to the 1920s and is currently operated by the Scavino family for many generations.

Paolo Scavion started in the early 1900s as Lorenzo Scavan cultivated his vineyard in the Barolo region. Paolo Scavino took over in the 1920s. He set up a winery, which bore his moniker.
Enrico Scavino, Paolo's grandson and his daughters Elisa and Enrica run all operations of this winery. With their hearts, they continue their ancestor's traditions of making wine and act in a friendly way with nature.

Like other wine companies, Paolo Scavino will continue to maintain nature and natural processes in its winemaking. They exclusively use fertilisers. Using chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides in the vineyard should be avoided consciously. Rather than that, they use other methods, such as planting insects and utilizing cover crops for disease prevention and pest control.
