Barolo Parussi 2017

Blue flower, ripe dark-skinned fruit, cedar and forest floor aromas shape the nose. Delicious and firmly structured, the full-bodied palate also shows finesse, delivering juicy Morello cherry, crushed raspberry and licorice alongside fine-grained, enveloping tannins.96 points Wine Enthusiast.

Wine Advocate

With fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the Massolino 2017 Barolo Parussi is a standout in this portfolio of wines mainly from Serralunga d'Alba. Thanks to its protective positioning at the center of the appellation where it draws upon the soils and exposures of the surrounding areas, Castiglione Falletto performs very nicely in a vintage that saw extreme weather with frost and drought. What the Parussi brings to the table is more focus and sharpness, with red fruits, crushed rose, cooling limestone mineral and some dried mint. (6/2021, ML)
