Tasting notes
With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the organic Ceretto 2019 Barolo Prapò is a natural extension to a portfolio of wines that represents some of the greatest cru sites in the appellation. This wine shows the extra power and fruit concentration that this site is known for, and there is a pretty touch of sweetness as well, with dried cherry and raspberry, that softens the mineral tones and iron-rich aromas. This wine balances both power and elegance, not an easy feat.

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.
Mid ruby with orange tinges. Looks a little more mature than the rest of their Barolos of the same vintage. Ripe fruit oscillates between raspberry and damson with spicy minerality and cardamon. Voluminous fruit with an elegant palate weight. Lush and richly tannic. (WS)
