2017 Ceretto "Prapo'" Barolo

The most powerful wine in this grouping is the Ceretto 2017 Barolo Prapò that draws its fruit from a historic site in Serralunga d'Alba. These results are compact and rock-solid, with a deep well of plummy black and purple fruits packed tight at the core. Mineral notes of iron ore, crushed brick and dark licorice fill in the rear. Despite the hot and dry growing conditions, the wines from Serralunga d'Alba show very well across the board in 2017. (ML)
