Barolo Mosconi, Parusso - 2018

Above all, this great Barolo shines with refinement and elegance. Its tannin is smooth and satiny, wonderfully enhanced by the vinification in whole bunches and the maturation of the maestro Marco, who knows how to give the nebbiolo a unique seduction and aromatic brilliance. It is even our favourite wine of the vintage! Jancis Robinson : 17/20 ; Falstaff : 93/100 ; Wine Advocate : 94/100 ; Vinous : 93/100 ; James Suckling : 97/100

Marco Parusso is not a winemaker like the others. Perceived as a "modernist", he nevertheless claims to bring back up to date ancient practices that he discovered in very old writings. For some years now, he has been following a road that he is the only one to tread in the Langhe. But it doesn't matter to him. For the man assumes his originality. But before we look at the style of the estate, let's talk a little about its history and the current team... The Parusso family began cultivating vines between the two wars. The first sale of wine in bottles - and under their own label - was with the (great) 1961 vintage. At the beginning, the estate consisted of only two hectares, in the Bussia and Mariondino crus. Following in his father's footsteps, Marco Parusso, who was not initially destined for the wine business, finally decided to study oenology in Alba. He graduated in 1986 and became part of the generation of famous Barolese who made a name for themselves in the 90's, revolutionising the old style of the past.until 1985, the estate produced only one Barolo, blending all the vintages owned. But in 1986, things changed. That year was a bit special, as the vintage suffered a terrible hail in May. But above all, during the winter, the region experienced a scandal involving wines contaminated with methanol,...
