2017 Chionetti Barolo "Parussi" 1,5lt. Magnum
The 2017 Barolo Parussi offers quite a bit of charm and near-term appeal. Pliant and creamy, the Parussi builds nicely in the glass. Aromas of violet, scorched earth and leather come to the forefront with sweet red berry fruit, mint, orange zest and wild flowers all meld together effortlessly. The savoury, balanced palate offers dried black cherry, clove and liquorice alongside fine-grained tannins. This attractive, mid-weight Castiglione Falletto Barolo will drink well over the next decade, maybe longer.
This wine is produced in Dogliani, in the southwestern Langhe region of Piedmont, known for its ideal soil and climate for winemaking. The Parussi vineyard, located in Castiglione Falletto, faces southwest and was planted in 1982 at an elevation of about 220 meters, thriving in marly, calcareous soils. This classic wine reflects the family's winemaking tradition. It has received 93 points from Wine Enthusiast and 91 points from Vinous.
