Tenuta Paolo Scavino, Barolo Prapò 2017

Tenuta Paolo Scavino’s Barolo Prapò 2017 is a compelling expression of one of Barolo’s most admired crus, shaped by the estate’s trademark precision and elegance. From a historic family winery founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto, this wine reflects both deep regional heritage and a modern, terroir-driven approach to Nebbiolo.

Tasting Notes
Prapò typically shows a bright garnet hue with youthful depth and classic Barolo transparency. The nose is likely to be layered and focused, with red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, licorice, and subtle earthy and spice notes. On the palate, expect firm yet finely knit tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, structured finish that balances power with finesse. This is a Barolo built for the cellar, with the 2017 vintage offering impressive concentration and aromatic detail. While approachable with patience and time in glass, it should continue to develop beautifully over the next decade or more, gaining complexity, savory nuance, and greater harmony.

Production
The Prapò cru sits in the heart of the Barolo zone, where the soils and exposure help Nebbiolo deliver intensity, structure, and aromatic lift. Tenuta Paolo Scavino is known for working with carefully selected cru vineyards and for vinifying each site to preserve its individual character. The harvest is carried out with a strong focus on quality, and the winemaking combines traditional respect for the grape with modern cellar techniques to achieve purity, precision, and balance.

Food & Serving
Serve this Barolo with rich, flavorful dishes such as braised beef, osso buco, truffle risotto, game, or aged hard cheeses. A serving temperature of 16–18°C is ideal to bring out its aromatic complexity and structure. Decanting for at least 1–2 hours is recommended, especially in its youth, to soften the tannins and allow the wine’s layered character to unfold.

Producer
Founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto, Tenuta Paolo Scavino is one of Barolo’s benchmark producers, respected for its focus on cru expression and elegant, precise wines. Today, Enrico Scavino works alongside his daughters Enrica and Elisa, continuing a family legacy that has helped shape the modern reputation of Barolo. With vineyards across many of the region’s most important communes and a long-standing commitment to quality, the estate is widely admired for producing some of the region’s most sought-after wines.
