Description
The Parusso family story is one of dedication, passion, and a constant desire to improve through experimentation. Their dedication to their craft drives them to rediscover knowledge, traditions, and the ancient vineyard arts of their ancestors.. In 1901, Gaspare Parusso purchased the Mariondino plot, the first vineyard bought by the Parusso family. The history of the Parusso family has evolved over 120 years, from a family of farmers to a family of vintners. Parusso wines continue to garner international acclaim while remaining true to tradition, family values, and ultimately respect for the land that has been in their family for over 100 years.
Tasting Notes
“Made from two different parts of the large Bussia MGA on different expositions – Rocche faces south/southeast while Munie faces south and west – Parusso’s bottling is bursting with blackcurrant, menthol and cola: atypical for Barolo but very typical for this modernist producer who prefers long macerations and ageing in barriques. In the mouth this is bold and almost sticky, with plentiful black fruits balanced by a balsamic and menthol quality as well as good acidity. Integrated, grainy tannins buttress the fleshy fruit and should become beautifully silky in a few years. Ripe, concentrated and pure, this is a vertical Bussia with sapidity and length on its side.”
