95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.
95 points Vinous
The 2016 Barolo Prapò is a dark, deep wine. Today, the Prapò is a bit monolithic. Hopefully time in bottle will help smooth out some of the tannins. Dark cherry, dark plum, iron, smoke, gravel, white pepper and chalk are enshrouded in a wall of Serralunga tannins in this brooding, inward Barolo from Schiavenza.
