Massolino Parussi Barolo 2013 is a distinguished wine hailing from one of the Langhe region’s most esteemed vineyards in Piedmont, Italy. This vintage exemplifies the harmonious balance and refined complexity characteristic of Barolo from the prestigious Serralunga area. The 2013 growing season provided optimal conditions, resulting in grapes of exceptional ripeness and concentration, which translates into a wine with both immediate appeal and impressive aging potential.

Displaying a deep garnet hue, this Barolo is a sensory experience defined by intense aromas of ripe red cherries and wild roses, enriched by nuanced notes of licorice and tar, hallmark traits of the Serralunga terroir. On the palate, it reveals a masterful interplay of firm, well-structured tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long and persistent, layered with subtle spice, earthy undertones, and refined fruit flavors that linger gracefully.

Produced with meticulous care from a private cellar selection, the Massolino Parussi Barolo 2013 is a rare offering that underscores superior craftsmanship and regional authenticity. This vintage has earned critical acclaim, receiving an outstanding 96 points from Kerin O'Keefe, one of the foremost critics on Italian wines, confirming its status as a benchmark for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

The Margheria vineyard’s unique microclimate combined with its limestone-rich soils plays a crucial role in shaping the noble structure and elegance of this wine. Massolino’s Barolos consistently rank among the finest in the region, celebrated for their purity and sophistication.

This Barolo pairs exquisitely with hearty Italian dishes such as truffle risotto, braised meats, and aged cheeses, making it a superb choice for elevating any meal or enriching a curated wine collection.

Reviews

Firmly structured and loaded with energy, this intense red opens with aromas of new leather, pipe tobacco, eucalyptus and a whiff of cake spice. The aromas carry over to the vibrant palate along with raspberry and cherry set against a firm backbone of assertive but refined tannins. Tightly wound and youthfully austere, it still needs time but seems destined to blossom into a beauty. Drink 2025-2043. *Cellar Selection*
romas of oranges, mandarins, and raspberries follow through to a medium body, with a well-defined texture of round, ripe tannins. Chewy, precise finish.
