Dark cherry, smoke, leather, gravel, scorched earth, and licorice slowly come alive in the glass. Dense, potent and muscular, the 2019 offers tons of textural intensity and brooding, virile power. It is facinating to taste next to the Margheria, which is a bit more aromatic and nuanced, while the Parafade is all muscle. This is one of the best editions I can remember tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMassolino notes: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarolo DOCG Parafada is perfect for long ageing, capable of astonishing us with its surprising evolution.

It perfectly reflects the great complexity of the soil in Serralunga d’Alba. The perfect Barolo for long ageing. It is best to decant and serve it at temperatures between 18-20°C. The elegant companion for important rice and pasta dishes, such as risotto cooked in Barolo, and rich and tasty main courses, such as roast meats.
