In the glass, it presents a deep garnet red colour, introducing an enveloping aromatic profile. On the nose, clear notes of sweet spices emerge, followed by nuances of sandalwood, tobacco and leather. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003epowerful structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, initially austere but well-balanced by dense and robust tannins, destined to soften with evolution over time. The tasting concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for accompanying stews, game and aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown within the prestigious Barolo area, specifically from the \u003cstrong\u003eParussi vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e in Castiglione Falletto, Massolino's first holding outside the territory of Serralunga d'Alba. The vines, approximately forty years old, are Guyot-trained on the ridge of the hill at an altitude of 290 metres, benefiting from south-east and south-west exposures. The roots sink into soil with a \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-sandy and clay composition\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental element for the wine's profound aromatic imprint. This geology, combined with \u003cstrong\u003elimited yields\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensures the perfect expression of the local microclimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in the second half of October with a careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the cellar, vinification involves fermentation and \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for fifteen to twenty days at controlled temperatures, an essential step for extracting the colour and tannic texture. Subsequently, the wine matures in large \u003cstrong\u003eoak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e for about thirty months. This long rest, completed by further bottle ageing for at least a year in cool and protected environments, promotes the wine's harmony, guaranteeing it significant ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 2007 in the renowned municipality of Castiglione Falletto, \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Parussi\u003c\/strong\u003e represents the first milestone for the Massolino winery outside the historic area of Serralunga d’Alba.
