Parusso – Barolo Mosconi – 2013

The Parusso company has the classic history of the Langa cellars. It was born in the early 1900s as a farm, where Gaspare Parusso began buying the first vineyards in the area of ​​Mariondino in Castiglione Falletto, to then vinify the grapes for exclusively family use. Beyond the vineyards, the Parusso family had fields, animals and orchards. Finally, from the 1970s, thanks to Armando Parusso, the first bottles of Barolo began to be bottled and sold with their name on the label. The company has expanded slightly over the years, reaching today to cultivate 20 hectares of vineyards including Bussia di Monforte where the winery is located, Mariondino and Mosconi. Furthermore, from the 1980s, we see the entry into the cellar of Marco and Tiziana, Armando’s children. The purpose of the winery is first of all to cultivate the vines with the utmost respect for the earth, also integrating humus, while in the cellar the style is innovative and careful to produce clean and good wines. Parusso wines, but above all the Barolos are always well recognizable, they have a unique but not invasive style! The Barolos are aged for at least 18 months in new barriques and at least two years in the bottle. Wines full, enveloping but with a nice tannin on the finish, notes of cocoa, earthy and light vanilla notes will win you over. Barolo Mosconi comes from the vineyard of the same name located on the east side of Monforte, where the soils begin to be harder and richer in both clay and limestone, giving slightly more full-bodied wines with a good structure. In this case the wine as well as being round thanks to Parusso’s incomparable style, has a more pungent tannin and a long persistence on the finish. Hard.
