Critics scores
90 Robert Parker
The nose of the 1999 Barolo Prapo, a deep garnet, is dominated by asphalt and anisette aromas with the vanilla and mocha of the oak more in the background. Long, firm, and intense in flavor, still slightly tannic, it will need some time to round off the slight graininess of its texture. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018. <br/>
90 Wine Spectator
Shows very ripe fruit that verges on jammy, offering strawberry pie and creamy undertones. Full and chewy, with vanilla, toasted oak and jam aftertaste. Big and juicy for the vintage.—'99 Piedmont blind retrospective (2009). Best after 2010. 1,080 cases made. –JS

Producer
Ceretto Aziende Vitivinicole S.r.l.
A great appreciation for the terroir, art and wine has united and driven the Ceretto family for years. As the largest vineyard proprietors in Piedmont, the Ceretto family owns over 160 hectares mostly in the Langhe and Roero regions. Their estate stretches across the prestigious DOCG areas of Barolo and Barbaresco. Their four properties are each devoted to the production of specific wines. Single-vineyard Barolo wines in Bricco Rocche of Castiglione Falletto, single-vineyard Barbaresco wines in the Bricco Asili vineyard in the village of Barbesco, local Langhe and Roero wines in Monsordo Bernardina of Alba, and Moscato wines in Santo Stefano Belbo of I Vignaioli Santo Stefano. In addition to the family’s commitment to make elegant wines, their passion for modern art has pushed them to become the first in Piedmont to substantially invest in the image of their wine. From their bottles and labels, to their overall packaging, Ceretto is a step above the rest.
