Luigi Vico Barolo Prapò DOCG 2016

The Luigi Vico 2016 Barolo Prapò is a well-balanced expression from Serralunga d'Alba. This vineyard site is known for its powerful and direct fruit, and the Prapò lives up to its reputation. Dried cherry, cola, iron ore and candied orange are laced within the texture of the bouquet. The tannins are loosely knit in this expression, even a tad gritty in texture, but they ultimately taper out, despite a few rough edges. This wine needs a few more years of cellar aging to come together.
