"This red is pure and silky in texture as the cherry, currant, floral and mineral flavors unfold. Though firm and taut, there's intense energy, with an incredible underpinning of mineral that leaves the palate with a salty, tactile impression. Best from 2016 through 2035. 100 cases imported." –BS

"Fabulous nose of chocolate, dark fruit, spice, foie gras and dried flowers such as roses. Full body, with velvety tannins and a bright acidity. Spicy and very intense with a saltiness. Class. Drink now hold."

About the Parussi Vineyard
"Parussi is the first Barolo made from grapes grown outside Serralunga d’Alba, in another fantastic area: 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 characteristics reflecting even the slightest changes in the microclimate and soil the grapes were grown in.

Location
The vineyard “Parussi” is located in Castiglione Falletto (sheet no.2,land parcel no. 342,108,168). Its altitude is 300 m above sea level, the total area is 1.3 hectares. The excellent south-easterly/south-westerly exposure of the vineyard, situated on the crest of the hill, in the Parussi, sub-zone,guarantees the production of extraordinary quality grapes, with the tannic structure and expression of the land of Castiglione Falletto."
