Parusso Description

Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby garnet red. Rich, with red fruit notes, rose petals and earth, hints of spice and mint. The palate is wrapped by its noble tannins of fine-grained, sweet, silky tannins.

Serve with red meat roasts , all game, truffle dishes and ripe cheese.

Critical Acclaim

Decanter
Super charged on the nose, this is a step up again from both the Mariondino and Mosconi, albeit with a similar aromatic profile - floral tones and sweet red cherry pits but more expressive. Gorgeous minerality and excellent precision on the nose too with strawberry, red cherry and raspberry notes. Excellent acidity, this also has abundant tannins but they are slightly more velvety, rounded and coursing. The texture is so appealing but this has a different depth and edge of minerality to it, slightly dry on the palate but velvety with rich but defined notes of red fruits,cherry sweets, cola, milk chocolate and violets. The florality is there on the palate too. This is smooth, juicy and clean - you get the succulence but also the salinity, the ripe fruit and plushness but also the refinement and delicacy of each individual flavour. This is seriously expressive, fully flavoured with such a long length, it goes on and on. A supremely fine wine, I love it!

Complex nose of ripe red fruit with sweet tobacco-like spice, flowers and orange cream. Full-bodied with a dense core of fruit and grainy tannin that is still riding high. Needs plenty of time to integrate and spread.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2018 Barolo Bussia is slightly subdued (almost) compared to the other new releases from this estate, although you'd need to take that comment in context since all of Parusso's wine bat above their weight. With 15% alcohol, this vintage shows dark fruit, spicy plum, cherry skin and potting soil. The Bussia is always a hallmark of Mark Parusso's unique winemaking approach. Fruit comes from the Rocche and Munie vineyards in the Bussia MGA of Monforte d'Alba. Best After 2025
