Conterno Fantino, Barolo, Parussi 2001
Base of neck or better

Getting to end of life but still some darker red cherry fruit and mature soft tannings. Almost Maderized on the nose but drank with a few big time wine people and they did not think so. Definitely true to an old Barolo style. 8/10/2024

The 2001 Barolo Parussi opens with an elegant, Burgundian nose of sweet fruit, flowers, minerals and underbrush. This mid-weight Barolo shows Pinot Noir-like bright red and black cherry fruit with notes of menthol and toasted oak. A wine of great finesse, the Parussi is the most delicate of this producer’s three Barolos. Sadly 2001 is the last vintage for this wine, as the estate was not able to renew its lease for the vineyard. 10/2006
