The Schiavenza Barolo DOCG "Prapò" impresses with an intense garnet-red color and a complex bouquet of red fruits, roses, tobacco, and spice notes. On the palate, it shows a pronounced structure with finely polished tannins, clear freshness, and a long, mineral finish – a classic, long-lived single-vineyard Barolo with excellent aging potential.
 
The Schiavenza 2016 Barolo Prapò impresses just as much as the Cerretta. Both wines show amazing clarity and purity, and this one from the lowest-altitude vineyard (at 300 meters above sea level with compact marl soils) is distinguished by its vibrant quality of fruit. There is a lot of zesty energy locked within this release of just 2,973 bottles, and as the wine pours forth, it builds intensity with each additional sip. Both crus reveal a solid build with tight tannins to carry them forward in time as they complete their cellar aging. Patience is required. 95/100 (07.2020) - Wine Advocate
