Barolo DOCG - Prapò - Schiavenza represents a high expression of one of the most prestigious Italian wines, fruit of the passion and experience of the Schiavenza winery. Located in the heart of Piedmont, in the historic Langhe region, Schiavenza cultivates Nebbiolo for Barolo with dedication, carefully selecting the grapes from the best vineyards. "Prapò" is a cru of particular importance located in the municipality of Serralunga d'Alba, known for its ability to produce wines of extraordinary structure and longevity.

This Barolo has an intense garnet red color, typical of wines produced from Nebbiolo grapes. On the nose, complex and deep notes of ripe red fruit stand out, enriched by nuances of withered flowers, tobacco, leather and a light hint of spices, due both to the quality of the grapes and the meticulous aging process in wood.

On the palate, the Barolo DOCG Prapò di Schiavenza expresses an excellent structure, with powerful but elegantly smooth tannins, supported by a well-balanced acidity that guarantees freshness and liveliness. The wine develops harmoniously, offering a range of flavors that reflect the olfactory sensations, leading to a long and persistent finish, with mineral and spice notes that testify to the complexity and richness of this cru.

Ideal in combination with intense and structured dishes, such as red meats, game, mature cheeses and mushroom-based dishes, Barolo Prapò is also a perfect wine for moments of meditation, capable of evolving over time and revealing new nuances of taste and aroma .

The winery

Azienda Agricola Schiavenza – Winery in Piemonte

Discover the story and wines of Azienda Agricola Schiavenza.

Family-run winery in Serralunga d'Alba (Piedmont) producing wines typical of the Langhe, with a particular focus on Nebbiolo/Barolo, alongside agritourism and dining activities.
Region: Piemonte
Country: Italia
Founded: 1956
Grapes: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto
Production of single-cru Barolo from Serralunga and a Barolo from Perno. Vineyards covering approximately 11 hectares between Serralunga d'Alba and Monforte d'Alba. Soil-focused agronomic approach: minimal tillage, integrated pest management and hand harvesting. Traditional winemaking with fermentations in concrete and ageing in Slavonian barrels for many wines. Agriturismo and traditional Langa cuisine integrated with the winery's activities.
Winery history
The estate began as a family business rooted in Serralunga d’Alba: the original core was purchased by the great-grandfather in the 1920s and the first label dates to 1956, the year construction of the winery also began. In the 1990s management expanded with the entry of new generations, and the estate progressively enlarged its vineyards and modernized the winery while retaining traditional methods. Since 1997 the business has also included a trattoria/agriturismo that showcases the estate’s products.
Production philosophy
The winery adopts an approach that prioritizes soil health and terroir expression: low-impact practices, hand-harvesting, and winemaking focused on expressing the terroir rather than on oenological manipulation. Concrete tanks are used for fermentation and Slavonian oak barrels for aging in the traditional styles.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards extend between Serralunga d’Alba and Monforte d’Alba in the Langhe: soils of the Lequio formation in Serralunga and sandier soils of Diano origin in Perno. Many crus are east/southeast-facing; the vineyards used for the Langhe Nebbiolo lie between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, with individual parcels such as Broglio and Cerretta.
