Mauro Sebaste's 2011 Barolo Prapò is an articulate and complete wine from a hot vintage. The fruit intensity is powerful, but there are enough subtle background notes of spice, tar and grilled herb to add nuance and complexity. Indeed, this wine is layered and profound.

The 2010 Barolo Prapò is fashioned in a dark and beautifully saturated style with ruby and amber highlights. On the nose, the wine offers subtle tones of pressed cherry with more evident background tones of tar, licorice and leather. This Barolo offers a good amount of brawn and muscle. Sour cherry fruit appears on the close.

I tasted through various wines by Mauro Sebaste, and my favorite is the 2009 Barolo Prapo. This rendition of Nebbiolo shows bold lines with ripe fruit overtones. Soft tannins are backed by lush flavors of black cherry and tobacco. This is a simple but genuine Barolo that is suitable for near-term consumption. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020.
