First produced in 2007. From 44-year-old canes from the Parussi field in Castiglione Falletto. Calcareous, clay and sandy soil. Massolino has 1.3 Ha divided into plots 348 108 and 268. The height of 300 meters above sea level. Very stony soil with a lot of lime and sand.
The wine has fermented for 20 days at 31-33 degrees on cement followed by 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels.
Despite the heat in 2017, Massolino has succeeded in producing a very delicious Parussi. The wine is probably ready to drink somewhat sooner than 2013 and 2016.

The 2017 Barolo Parussi is a classic Castiglione Falletto Barolo. Sweet floral notes and bright, red berry fruit open first as the 2017 shows off its considerable charms. Medium in body and silky (for the year), with exceptional balance, the 2017 Parussi is stellar. This is an unbelievably classy Barolo.

With fruit from Castiglione Falletto, the Massolino 2017 Barolo Parussi is a standout in this portfolio of wines mainly from Serralunga d'Alba. Thanks to its protective positioning at the center of the appellation where it draws upon the soils and exposures of the surrounding areas, Castiglione Falletto performs very nicely in a vintage that saw extreme weather with frost and drought. What the Parussi brings to the table is more focus and sharpness, with red fruits, crushed rose, cooling limestone mineral and some dried mint.
