2016 Chionetti Barolo "Parussi"
The color is ruby with a slight opalescence. On the nose, in its youth, it exhibits typical fruity and floral elements such as dried rose, along with hints of spice and licorice. On the palate, it is substantial, supported by robust yet embracing tannins, concluding with a fresh yet savory finish.

Our wines are born in Dogliani, in the extraordinary territory of the southwestern Langhe in Piedmont. The terroir of Dogliani has a truly ancient history when it comes to the cultivation and winemaking of dolcetto. In fact, it offers an ideal soil and climate for this challenging grape variety. The hills here are higher, closer to the Maritime Alps, with cooler temperatures, and feature the noble soils of the Langhe, which give rise to unique wines.
The Parussi, located in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, faces southwest. The vines were planted in 1982 at an elevation of approximately 220 meters, where they thrive in marly, calcareous soils. The outcome, in keeping with our family's tradition, is nothing short of classic.
