Massolino Barolo Parussi 2021 5L is a refined, terroir-driven Barolo from the heart of Castiglione Falletto, where old and newer soils bring extra depth and tension to the wine. In this generous large-format bottle, the 2021 vintage shows the elegant, mineral style that has made Massolino one of the most respected names in Barolo.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine is deep ruby-garnet, with a youthful brightness that hints at its long future ahead. The nose is initially restrained, opening gradually with wild berry fruit, dried rose petals, and a marked crushed limestone character that adds lift and definition.
On the palate, it is tight and focused at first, with a firm, elegant structure and silky tannins that frame the red and dark berry fruit. The mineral drive gives the wine poise and length, and while it is already impressive for its balance, it will reward time in bottle beautifully. Drink now with patience or cellar confidently for many years.
Production
Parussi is sourced from Castiglione Falletto, one of Barolo’s most celebrated communes, where the interplay of old and newer soils helps shape a wine of complexity and finesse. The vineyard’s mid-appellation location contributes to a classic Barolo profile with pronounced minerality and structure. Harvest is carried out with care, and vinification follows a traditional approach aimed at preserving Nebbiolo’s aromatic precision and natural elegance.
Food & Serving
This Barolo pairs wonderfully with rich Piedmontese dishes such as braised beef, truffle risotto, wild mushroom pasta, and tajarin with meat ragù. It is also excellent with roasted game, aged cheeses, and slow-cooked lamb. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least 1–2 hours if enjoying young to allow the wine to open fully.
Producer
Massolino was founded in 1896 in Serralunga d’Alba and has grown into one of the benchmark producers of Barolo, known for wines of clarity, structure, and long aging potential. The estate has played an important role in shaping the reputation of classic Barolo, particularly through its commitment to expressing individual cru sites. Over time, Massolino has earned a strong reputation for both tradition and precision, making it one of the most admired names in the region.
