Note di degustazione
The 2001 Barolo Parussi opens with an elegant, Burgundian nose of sweet fruit, flowers, minerals and underbrush. This mid-weight Barolo shows Pinot Noir-like bright red and black cherry fruit with notes of menthol and toasted oak. A wine of great finesse, the Parussi is the most delicate of this producer's three Barolos. Sadly 2001 is the last vintage for this wine, as the estate was not able to renew its lease for the vineyard.

(the last vintage for this bottling, as the owner took back the vines after Fantino's lease expired) Medium red with a hint of amber. Aromas of nuts, marzipan, menthol and animal fur; not particularly fruit-driven. Then fat, sweet and lush, with a hint of red cherry liqueur. Shows the gentlest structure of Fantino's three 2001 Barolos, finishing rich and sweet, with very good length and chewy, ripe tannins.
