After years away building a life in Turin, he came home to reclaim the vines his grandparents tended and, working with Davide Rosso of the Giovanni Rosso estate, finally put the Vico name on a bottle. The output is tiny and the focus is single-cru Barolo. Prapò is one of Serralunga's benchmark MGAs, sitting around 360 meters on Helvetian marl rich in iron, clay and limestone sand. Serralunga's iron-laden soils are known for Barolo of serious structure, dark fruit and long life, and Prapò is a textbook example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 was made the traditional way: a long maceration on the skins, then 24 months in large Slavonian oak botti, so the wood frames the wine without flavoring it. From a highly regarded vintage, it balances Serralunga's muscular tannic core with Nebbiolo's lifted perfume, layering dark sour cherry, iron, crushed violet, leather, tar and dried sage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-cru Barolo from Prapò, one of Serralunga's great vineyards for powerful, age-worthy Nebbiolo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 2021 vintage delivers balance and drive, with decades of cellar potential ahead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark sour cherry, crushed violet, tar and dried rose on the nose, with iron-rich earth underneath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroad-shouldered and savory on the palate, framed by firm, chalky tannins.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA long, savory finish that rewards patience, whether in the decanter or the cellar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Serve It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServe at cool room temperature, 60-64°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn its youth, decant for about two hours so the firm Serralunga tannins can unwind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour into Burgundy stems to capture its deep, savory and floral bouquet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair with brasato al Barolo over soft polenta, wild boar ragù, or an herb-crusted rack of lamb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47977518301238,"sku":"SOMM2610-VICO21PRA-750","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2021LuigiVico_BaroloPrapo_Serralungad_Alba.png?v=1791229807","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2021-luigi-vico-barolo-prapo-serralunga-dalba","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
