Barolo

Full

Cork

The estate’s Mariondino parcel was Gaspare Parusso’s first, purchased in 1901. On marly-sandstone soil, the west-facing plot takes in the late afternoon sun and is cooled by northerly breezes. It is whole-cluster fermented – stems and all - with a long maceration of 50 days. Deeply coloured, it reveals savoury autumn leaves, mint, sage and accents of wood in the not-too-distant background. While the oak still needs to integrate, the ample tannins are quite plush and friendly, giving backbone to ripe plum fruit. This characterful and full-figured Barolo will provide plenty of pleasure over the next 12-15 years.
