Winemaker Notes

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.

Critical Acclaim

RP 93
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

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

WS 93
Wine Spectator

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.

JS 92
James Suckling

A medium-bodied Barolo with pretty easygoing wild-strawberry and fine-tannin style. Compact and tight, this is tempting even now, but give it another year.

Decanter
Light orange red color in the glass. Unusual but super expressive nose, really fragrant cherry notes, delicately perfumed, but so distinct - like potpourri, dried flowers with touches of cola and caramel. Precise and driven on the palate, certainly with a distinct coffee, cherry stone flavor. Good acidity, juicy, mouthwatering and incredibly fresh - freshly picked strawberries and cherries - but it's the savory touch with a real mineral stone cleanliness that grips the tongue and takes hold that is so captivating. Lovely depth on the mid palate, quite a driven style but very linear, direct and taught at the moment. More savory than overtly fruity. Super elegant.

Wine Enthusiast

Tart sour cherries leap out of the glass of this vibrant Barolo. Hints of blood orange, dried flowers and savory herbs emerge after the wine spends more time in the glass (a good decant is recommended). The palate shows youthful primary red-fruit notes en masse, with more subtle herbal and earthy hints in the background. Super-supple tannins and classic Nebbiolo acidity keep the wine balanced.
