Red
Parussi
By Massolino - Vigna Rionda, Barolo, Piemonte, Italy
Massolino's only Barolo grown outside Serralunga d'Alba, from a single vineyard on the crest of a hill in Castiglione Falletto, made since 2007.
Tasting notes
Deep garnet red. Ethereal, enveloping bouquet of sweet spices, sandalwood, tobacco and leather. Great structure with tannin that softens with time, and a very long finish typical of Castiglione Falletto.
Pairs well with
Pairs with the region's rich, traditional cuisine, stewed meats and medium to long matured cheeses.
