Parusso Barolo Mariondino 2018

Ruby red, nearly garnet. Elegant, delicate tones of spices and red fruit. Well balance and delicate.Serve with red meat roasts, truffle dishes, all game and ripe cheese. The Parusso 2018 Barolo Mariondino is a bigger and more concentrated wine compared to the Perarmando. With fruit from Castiglione Falletto, it also has what tastes like riper, darker and more fleshed-out fruit flavors. This wine delivers lots of power (with 15% alcohol), stems, structure and large-scale tannins, as expected. It's a lot to take in. Best After 2024 This broad, muscular Barolo boasts prominent aromas of juniper and eucalyptus, yet there are also plenty of plum, cherry, licorice and tobacco flavors. Delivers substantial beefy tannins, which compact the finish, yet this feels balanced overall. Best from 2026. Parusso's 2018 Barolo Mariondino is a gorgeous, effusive wine. Bright floral accents, kirsch, orange peel, new oak, spice and mint give the 2018 its sculpted, chiseled personality. There is terrific cut and energy here. This is an especially fine showing from the Mariondino.
