Massolino Barolo Parussi 2009

For Barolo DOCG Parussi the winemaker left the confines of Serralunga, choosing a vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Thanks to the characteristics of Nebbiolo, a grape variety capable of capturing the differences in micro-climate and soil composition and translating them into sensations, the result astonished us.

Structured, important, austere. Ethereal and enveloping with intense and persistent notes of sweet spices, sandalwood, tobacco and leather. Great structure. Remarkable tannin which softens with time and make it a perfect wine also for ageing. Its very long finish is typical of Barolos from Castiglione Falletto. It is best to decant and serve it at temperatures between 18-20°C.

Parussi is the first Barolo made from grapes grown outside Serralunga d’Alba, in another fantastic area: Castiglione Falletto. The traditional vinification and ageing processes, which are the same as those used for its “Barolo brothers” from Serralunga d’Alba, highlight the well-known capacity of Nebbiolo grapes to deliver Barolos with different fascinating characteristics reflecting the changes in the micro-climate and soil the grapes were grown in.
