Parussi Barolo docg
Vineyard: Parussi
Location: Castiglione Falletto
Vine variety: Nebbiolol100%
Age of the vineyard: 20 years old
Soil type: Limestone/Clay
Training system: Guyot
Vinification and refining: Fermentation and maceration go on for about 10 days in temperature - controlled wood tanks, using native yeasts. Afterwards, “submerged cap fermentation” follows. In this special type of fermentation the grape skins are kept in contact with the must, for about 3 to 4 weeks time. The wine is eventually transferred into large wood barrels.
Tasting notes: Ruby red color with brick-like hues. It’s traditional to the nose, with reminiscences of ripe fruits and chocolate. A full-bodied wine with great structure, elegant in its tannin and very persistent.
