Paolo Scavino Description
95 pts Kerin O’Keefe
“Aromas of dog rose, nutmeg and botanical herb shape the nose. Made with grapes hailing from a massal selection of mother plants taken from Bric del Fiasc and planted in Prapò in 2010, it’s smooth and elegant, with polished tannins that envelop ripe cherry, Alpine herb, vanilla and licorice flavors. It’s slightly more accessible than the other single-vineyard offerings but will also offer many years of superb sipping. Drink 2027–2039.” - KO
Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
“Taking on a deeper profile, the 2019 Barolo Prapo exudes notes of kirsch, black licorice, polished leather, and lavender. Full-bodied and approachable, its refined, ripe tannins do well to accept the ripeness of the fruit that remains pure. It has a silkiness in its texture and fruit profile without losing structure and delivers notes of black tea, truffle, and blackberry as well as a long finish. Drink 2025-2045.”
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
"This fresh, vibrant red marries cherry, plum and floral flavors with woodsy underbrush, cut grass and tobacco notes. Dense and unyielding on the finish for now, yet there's ample fruit and a long, complex, mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2047."
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
"With the black label, this wine draws its fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, or the village that usually reveals the most structured and muscular expressions of Nebbiolo. Indeed, the Paolo Scavino 2019 Barolo Prapò exhibits a medium dark garnet color. The wine's texture is certainly broader and richer in terms of mouthfeel, and there is some rusty nail or crushed red rock on the close. Tar, cola and licorice emerge with time. Only 4,300 bottles were made."
