Description
What kind of wine it is
Parusso Barolo Mosconi is a red wine of great character that fully expresses the essence of Nebbiolo grown in Piedmont. As a Barolo, it appears in the glass with a deep dark garnet hue. Its aromatic profile offers intense notes of sage, rosemary and earth, enriched by elegant hints of undergrowth. On the palate, it reveals a velvety tannic structure, delivering a broad and enveloping sip that develops with great balance, culminating in a long and persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Piedmont region, from the vines of the Mosconi vineyard situated between 370 and 400 metres above sea level. The soils, characterised by a complex composition of white marl and tuff, give the wine a distinctive aromatic depth and definition. The vines benefit from a favourable south and south-east exposure, ensuring optimal ripening of the grapes. The Parusso winery manages these rows by maintaining a high planting density, working in complete harmony with the pedoclimatic characteristics of this specific area.
How it is produced
The creation of this wine begins with a rigorous manual harvest, aimed at preserving the integrity of the grape bunches. The grapes undergo gentle pressing, followed by a long maceration at controlled temperature. Alcoholic fermentation starts spontaneously thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts. Subsequently, the wine matures during a delicate ageing phase, spending a minimum of eighteen months in small oak barrels, in constant contact with its own lees to acquire greater structural complexity.
History and Curiosities
Barolo Mosconi 2020 embodies the spirit of the Parusso family who, since 1985, have been producing exceptional wines in Piedmont under the expert guidance of Marco Parusso. Born from Nebbiolo grapes grown on prized white marl and tuff soils, this Barolo DOCG stands out for its velvety structure and deep woodland aromas. Its international prestige is confirmed by major accolades, including an outstanding 95 points from James Suckling. A handcrafted masterpiece, aged for a long time to deliver a memorable and extraordinarily persistent finish.
