Visually, it displays a garnet red colour, enriched with delicate orange reflections. The bouquet reveals intense aromas of dried fruit and red berries, embellished with elegant vanilla nuances. On the palate, the entry is full and warm, led by \u003cstrong\u003eaustere tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that define the structure and perfectly cleanse the mouth. The \u003cstrong\u003edistinct persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e on the finish makes it ideal for accompanying structured dishes, succulent braised meats and \u003cstrong\u003emature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhancing their flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Piedmont, in the heart of Serralunga d’Alba. The \u003cstrong\u003ePrapò vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e is home to vines over forty years old with a south-east exposure, cultivated using organic and sustainable methods. The calcareous soil, enriched with clay, sand and tuff components, gives the wine a solid identity and a distinctive character. The \u003cstrong\u003ehilly climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, with harsh winters and hot summers, encourages the slow and steady ripening of the grapes, allowing for a \u003cstrong\u003edeep and elegant aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e with great territorial precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a rigorous manual harvest of the grape bunches. The crushed grapes ferment in vertical steel tanks, where they undergo a \u003cstrong\u003elong maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins for over a month; during this phase, constant pumping over optimises the extraction of colour and structure. Subsequently, the wine matures in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a period between eighteen and twenty-four months. The process concludes with a targeted \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental stage to harmonise all the taste components and achieve perfect balance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarolo Prapò by Ettore Germano originates in Serralunga d’Alba, a proud expression of \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e aged 45 years and rooted in calcareous soils. Historically celebrated as the “nectar of kings”, this organic red is made from Nebbiolo grapes hand-picked in mid-October. Under the guidance of oenologist Sergio Germano, the must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional vinification\u003c\/strong\u003e with a long maceration, followed by a slow maturation in large oak barrels. The result is a glass of superb elegance, able to combine the austerity of the land with genuine \u003cstrong\u003eorganic sustainability\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ettore Germano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44503255548075,"sku":"52738","price":61.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/ettore-germano-barolo-prapo-2020_52738_1_2720d40f-272c-48da-977a-1bf8a7d72347.webp?v=1773738858","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-dk\/products\/ettore-germano-barolo-prapo-2020","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
