Note di degustazione
The 2013 Barolo Parussi, the only Massolino Barolo made from Castiglione Falletto fruit, is also the most accessible of the single-vineyard Barolos. All the Parussi signatures of bright red fruit, flowers and citrus are present, but they are amped by the unnaturally low yields of the year in this site that also give the wine more mid-palate plushness and power than is typically the case. Orange peel, herbs, mint, licorice, crushed flowers and sweet red cherry build in an exotic, beguiling Barolo full of personality. The 2013 Parussi has been alluring every time I have tasted it.

The 2013 Barolo Parussi is built like a little fortress with compact black fruit held tightly together by good extraction, bold structure and textural importance. The wine ages in large Slavonian oak casks for 30 months. Some 4,000 bottles were made. The finish is linear and elegant with a long and polished finish that emits tones of dried fruit, smoke and licorice.
From 50-year-old vines in the Parussi vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, bought in 2007. A lighter soil type here than Serralunga’s clay. Hail more than halved the yield in this vintage and only 30 hl were produced. Lustrous mid ruby. Expressive and almost opulent perfumed cherry nose. Succulent fruit and then firmly tannic, but finely woven. Beautifully balanced. (WS)
The 2013 Barolo Parussi, Massolino's single Barolo from Castiglione Falletto, is exceptionally beautiful and vivid. Crushed flowers, spices, leather, cherry and plum notes all lift from the glass. Perfumed and fresh, with striking palate presence and all the finesse of Castiglione, the Parussi dazzles today. All the elements are in the right place. Simply put, the Parussi has it all. The 2013 could turn out to be the first Parussi that challenges some of Massolino's Serralunga Barolos. It is every bit that promising.
