Its intense garnet red color immediately captures attention and heralds an extraordinary sensory experience.

On the nose, this wine reveals itself with an ethereal and enveloping aroma, characterized by intense and persistent notes of sweet spices, sandalwood, tobacco and leather. It is a bouquet that tells a story of complexity and depth.

In the mouth it is structured and powerful, initially revealing a notable austerity in the first years of life, a characteristic that softens with the passage of time. The tannins, dense and robust, give this wine a certain longevity, promising extraordinary maturation over the years.

It is a significant wine in Massolino's corporate history as it is the first Barolo to be born outside the borders of Serralunga d'Alba, drawing from the fertile land of Castiglione Falletto. The calcareous soil gives the wine a strong and austere character, characterized by robust tannins.

Massolino's Barolo Parussi is a tribute to the tradition, austerity and grandeur of Nebbiolo. It is a wine that requires patience and time to fully express its extraordinary complexity, but the reward is a tasting of rare elegance and a hymn to longevity in the world of wine

Family-run operation with an approach focused on preserving the character of single vineyards and traditional blends.
Winery history
The Massolino family has been active in Serralunga d'Alba since 1896, a date established from archival records. Over time the estate has promoted historic vineyards in Serralunga and in recent years has also launched projects in the Barbaresco area, expanding its presence in the Langhe.
Production philosophy
The production approach aims to highlight the voice of the terroir and the grape rather than cellar interventions: careful vineyard management, winemaking that respects the raw material, and the goal of producing precise, expressive wines capable of conveying the distinct character of each cru, with particular attention to Nebbiolo.
Terroir and vineyards
The winery is located in Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. The wines come from vineyards on hills well suited to Nebbiolo; the estate offers "classic" wines produced by blending multiple vineyards and crus that highlight differences in soil, exposure and vine age.
