Critic Scores, Reviews & Descriptions

95 WA / 94 WS / 94 JS / 93 WE

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. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

A mix of macerated black cherry, plum, menthol, tar, leather and tobacco marks this solid red. Dense, dusty tannins are tightly wound, while the ripe fruit persists on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2023 through 2043. 274 cases made, 50 cases imported. - Wine Spectator

A dense, very tight Barolo with crushed ripe strawberries, flowers and fresh mushrooms. It’s full-bodied, but very compact. Linear, tight tannins. Drink in 2023 and onwards. - James Suckling

Camphor, steeped cherry, pipe tobacco and new leather aromas come together in the glass along with a hint of underbrush. On the brawny palate, close-grained tannins accompany dried black cherry, licorice and cinnamon before leaving a drying finish. It closes on an almond note. Drink 2024–2031. - Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast
