It's such a complete wine, one that marries elegance with understated texture and persistence. Candied red fruit, spice and floral accents show a touch of raciness that builds over time. Parussi is the last vineyard Massolino harvests, a choice that seems especially well suited to this wine. Expansive and layered, with captivating beauty, the Parussi is positively stellar.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonica Larner, Robert Parker, June 2025: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Massolino 2021 Barolo Parussi draws its fruit from Castiglione Falletto at the center of the appellation with an interesting overlay of old and newer soils. This wine is less immediately aromatic and needs extra time in the glass to develop and flesh out. At this young stage, it delivers tight wild berry and you also get a pretty signature of crushed limestone. That elegant mineral note ties in nicely with the silky tannins. The Parussi excels in a balanced vintage such as this.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMassolino Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Barolo DOCG Parussi we left the confines of Serralunga, choosing a vineyard in Castiglione Falletto.

The traditional vinification and ageing processes, which are the same as those used for its “Barolo brothers” from Serralunga d’Alba, highlight the well-known capacity of Nebbiolo grapes to deliver Barolos with different fascinating\u003cbr\u003echaracteristics reflecting the changes in the microclimate and soil the grapes were grown in. Perfect with the rich, traditional cuisine of the region, stewed meats and medium- long matured cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Massolino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53019155497226,"sku":"CEW640","price":525.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/9273\/3194\/files\/Parussi.png?v=1728310325","url":"https:\/\/carlwandel.shop\/products\/massolino-barolo-parussi-2021","provider":"Carl Wandel \u0026 Søn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
