Note di degustazione
The 2016 Barolo Prapò captures all of the wild, unrestrained character that is so typical of wines from this district of Serralunga. Dried herbs, menthol, underbrush, licorice, pine, cloves and incense play off a core of dark fruit. Virile and imposing, with plenty of clout, the 2016 is super-impressive in the early going.

The Ettore Germano 2016 Barolo Prapò offers depth and intensity with lots of savory, rich and dark characteristics. Fruit comes from Serralunga d'Alba from a 1.5-hectare plot at 330 to 370 meters above sea level. The wine is fermented on the skins up to 45 days and aged in barrel for two years. Despite that initial blast of black fruit, the wine reveals a very elegant and polished finish. It is tapered down and streamlined in terms of mouthfeel. Some 9,000 bottles will be released in September 2020.
Serralunga d’Alba. 40 days on the skins and aged for 24 months in 25-hl large oak casks from the Mastrobottaio cooperage. Concentrated, sweet and embryonic with a smoky hint of beef stock. Crunchy, ripe red fruit and medium-bodied weight on the palate. Long, firm, imposing tannins. The youthful fruit follows all the way through the muscular structure. Very long and just a touch herbal.
