Tenuta Paolo Scavino, Barolo Prapò 2017

Tenuta Paolo Scavino Barolo Prapò 2017 is a refined expression of one of Piedmont’s most respected Nebbiolo crus. Produced by the historic Scavino family estate, founded in Castiglione Falletto in 1921, it combines the depth and structure associated with Serralunga d’Alba with the estate’s hallmark precision, elegance and respect for terroir.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Barolo shows a luminous garnet-red colour with developing brick-red nuances. The nose is characteristically complex, offering aromas of red cherries, dried roses, violets and ripe red berries, followed by hints of liquorice, tobacco, spices and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is concentrated yet finely balanced, with layers of red fruit, herbs and savoury spice supported by firm, well-integrated tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long, persistent and elegant. With its structure and complexity, the 2017 vintage has excellent ageing potential and should continue to develop beautifully over the next 10–15 years, if carefully cellared.

Production
Prapò is a historic Barolo cru in the Serralunga d’Alba area, where the soils and continental climate are well suited to producing Nebbiolo with depth, structure and longevity. The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected before vinification, allowing the distinctive character of the vineyard to remain at the centre of the wine. Paolo Scavino combines this respect for individual terroirs with modern cellar techniques to create Barolo wines that are both powerful and precise.

Food & Serving
Serve at 16–18°C after allowing the wine to breathe. Decanting for around one to two hours is recommended when enjoying the wine in its youth; mature bottles may benefit from gentle decanting to separate the wine from any sediment. Its structure and savoury complexity make it an excellent partner for braised beef, roasted game, osso buco, truffle dishes, porcini mushrooms and mature hard cheeses.

Producer
Founded in 1921 in Castiglione Falletto, Tenuta Paolo Scavino is one of the historic names of the Barolo region. Today, the family estate is led by Enrico Scavino together with his daughters Enrica and Elisa, continuing a tradition built on detailed knowledge of Piedmont’s finest vineyards. The family owns approximately 29 hectares and works with a further group of historic Barolo sites across several communes, including Castiglione Falletto, Barolo, La Morra, Novello, Serralunga d’Alba, Verduno and Roddi. Its wines are recognised for expressing the individual identity of each cru with impressive complexity, purity and elegance.
