2012 TOP 50 WINES - Rank #37
Located in Bussia, Parusso is one of the premier estates in all of Piemonte. The 2007 Parusso Barolo 'Mariondino' is absolutely gorgeous with aromas of raspberries, strawberries, smoke, earth, vanilla, spices and fresh minerals. This borders on the modern side, but has plenty of old world character which is back by a rock solid structure and a beautiful long finish that leaves your mouth watering. Approachable now, but no need to rush, this will last. (Best 2013-2027) - November, 2012
