Tasting notes:

Sourced from sandy soils in the cool microclimate of Castiglione Falletto village. Fermented with indigenous yeasts without using sulfites and aged for at least 18 months in small oak barrels in contact with the lees to add texture to the wine. Aromas of red berry, black cherry, spice, lavender, menthol and dried flowers with hints of blood orange. Full-bodied with soft tannins and well-balanced with a fresh finish, this is a softer approach to Barolo.

Producer description:

The Parusso family story is one of passion and a constant desire to improve through experimentation. Their dedication to craft their wines has driven them to rediscover knowledge, traditions, and the ancient vineyard arts of their ancestors. It all started in 1901, when Gaspare Parusso purchased the first family plot, Mariondino. 120 years on, they have evolved from farmers to vintners and now own 28 hectares of vines. One of Barolo’s rising stars, Parusso is known for making approachable and age worthy Nebbiolos and are now competing with the best.

A rich and very ripe expression showing sweet cranberries, dried strawberries, cooked blood oranges, licorice, spices and hazelnuts. A touch of mineral looms from the glass as you let it breathe. Medium to full body with very tight, chewy tannins and some oak spices looming large at the end. Easy, pleasing richness. Drink from 2025.
