Barolo Prapo 2021 Ceretto

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (97)

Showing firm structure and a bold fruit profile, the Ceretto 2021 Barolo Prapò reveals a dark core with crushed stone, iron oxide and candied cherry. Prapò never holds back in terms of intensity. This site has a unique ripening cycle that means harvest comes 10 days later, giving the fruit more time to develop complexity. This wine is just terrific.

James Suckling (96)

A restrained and elegant wine with licorice, strawberries, bergamot and smoke on the nose. Smooth on the palate, with a lush full body, velvety tannins and freshness. Very approachable despite the structure. Lifted finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Vinous (95)

The 2021 Barolo Prapò is a dark, brooding wine, but then again, we are in Serralunga. Dried herbs, coffee, menthol, cloves, leather and iron convey somber intensity. The tannins are quite imposing, but that is to be expected here.

Falstaff (97)

Clear, intense ruby colour with a fine garnet hue. Intense and appealing nose, opens with notes of leather and liquorice, plus rosewood and plum, some cold smoke in the background. Full-bodied and compact, shows a lot of vivid fruit, plenty of plum, some raspberry, dense tannins, develops rich drive over the course, salty finish.
