2020 Barolo, Parussi, Massolino, Piedmont, Italy

Description

Save 20% on the 75cl bottle, previously priced at £104.00. Offer valid while stocks last. BBX listings excluded.

This is the most recent addition to Massolino’s roster, and comes from its only plot in Castiglione Falletto. Massolino’s share of Parussi is at the top of the hill, with a south-east/south-west exposition, and an average vine age of 40 years. The Parussi forms a beautiful counterpoint to its renowned Serralunga expressions. Deep, red plum, bright cherry and accents of violet and blueberry create an enchanting, lifted feeling. The texture is ultra-graceful, promising a brilliant future.

Critics reviews

Walter Speller 17.5/20

Castiglione Falletto. Bought in 2007; the vineyard now is 55 years old.

Lustrous mid ruby. Still quite backward and savoury rather than fruity. The palate is much more open with lush, supple, fresh fruit and gripping tannins on the finish. Quite gorgeous.

Antonio Galloni 94/100

The 2020 Barolo Parussi is a classy, nuanced wine. It shows lovely textural depth and resonance, but in the mid-weight style of the year. Dark red cherry, lavender, rose petal, mint and spice all build nicely, filling out the layers effortlessly. The 2020 is weightless and elegant, with the understated textural depth that is such a signature of this vintage.

Kerin O'Keefe 96/100

From the estate’s vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, the 2020 Parussi shows impressive structure, delivering ripe Marasca cherry, wild strawberry, menthol and licorice flavors supported by firm, tightly knit tannins. Fresh acidity keeps balanced. It’s also fragrant, with balsamic aromas of camphor that mingle with blue flower, ripe dark-skinned fruit and new leather.
