Varietal

Nebbiolo

The Nebbiolo grape varietal is widely understood to be the fruit responsible for Italy's finest aged wines. However, its popularity and reliability as a grape which gives out outstanding flavors and aromas has led it to be planted in many countries around the world, with much success. These purple grapes are distinguishable by the fact that they take on a milky dust as they begin to reach maturity, leading many to claim that this is the reason for their unusual name, which means 'fog' in Italian. Nebbiolo grapes produce wines which have a wide range of beautiful and fascinating flavors, the most common of which are rich, dark and complex, such as violet, truffle, tobacco and prunes. They are generally aged for many years to balance out their characteristics, as their natural tannin levels tend to be very high.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Piedmont

Situated in the north-western part of Italy, the region of Piedmont is known worldwide and is highly respected for the quality of the wines produced there. Many of the most successful sub-regions in Piedmont produce many of the world's finest red wines, such as those made from the excellent Nebbiolo grape varietal in areas such as Barolo and Barbaresco. However, the historic wineries which typify this region use a relatively wide variety of grapes, including Dolcetto and Barbera for their red wines, which are typically aged and have a delightful velvety character. Piedmont isn't all about beautifully complex red wines, though, as it is also famed for high quality, elegant sparkling wines, notably the Asti wines made with the white Moscato grape. The region benefits from a range of terroirs which are often well expressed in the sparkling wines, and a wonderfully consistent climate ideal for vineyard cultivation.

Appellation

Barolo

Barolo’s star grape is Nebbiolo, a finicky yet expressive variety that reaches its zenith this unique terroir. The region’s distinct microclimates and soils contribute to Nebbiolo’s complexity, resulting in wines with robust tannins, high acidity, and exceptional aging potential. Barolo wines, often referred to as “the king of wines,” are characterized by their deep garnet hue and complex bouquet, offering aromas of roses, tar, truffles, and red fruit. The aging process is significant, requiring at least 38 months, with a minimum of 18 months spent in wooden casks. This meticulous craftsmanship results in wines that evolve beautifully over time, displaying a harmonious balance of power and finesse. For wine enthusiasts, exploring Barolo provides a captivating journey into the rich tapestry of Italian winemaking, showcasing the profound marriage of tradition, terroir, and Nebbiolo’s distinctive expression.

Wine Advocate

Showing a medium-dark garnet color, the Parusso 2019 Barolo Mosconi (with 5,500 bottles made) reveals some of those distinctive aromas of skins and stems that are the hallmark of the house style. These give the wine a broader and richer profile that fits well in a generally more concentrated vintage such as this. Red rose petal, crème de cassis and dried cherry skin emerge from the bouquet. This wine promises a long aging evolution.

A fresh and fluid Mosconi with dried flowers, light plum and sliced strawberry character. Medium body. Creamy tannins and a silky finish. Seductive. Drink after 2026.

VM 94pts

Vinous Media

The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is a deep, powerful wine. Huge swaths of tannin are pretty overpowering at this stage. Then again, this is Mosconi, where Barolos are typically quite potent. It will be interesting to see it the fruit emerges over time. Dark plum, menthol, leather sage and graphite lend character. I suspect the 2019 will be stellar if given the time to come together.

WE 93pts

Wine Enthusiast

The fragrant nose reveals a captivating array of oak-derived spices: clove, allspice, cinnamon, licorice and vanilla as well as lush fruit aromas of liquored cherries, blood orange and wildflowers. Distinctive and singular, the wine showcases the winemaker's touch. The palate offers ripe fruits, harmonious oak spices and fine tannins needing a little more time. Drink 2028–2040.

DC 91pts

Decanter

Baked strawberries, almost stewed, fragrant pink flowers give the light, lifted and pretty aromas on the nose. Supple and forthright, this is bigger and more plush than Mariondino with tannins that are fleshy and fill the palate giving weight and grip at the same time. The fruit is a little hidden behind the walls of tannins but there's an undercurrent of absolute freshness and together with the racy acidity gives a sense of liveliness overall. Ample and generous yet still closed in terms of fruit forwardness, still with a vein of liquorice and savoury spice. Massy and full, it's muscular yet still quite taught and the lingering impression is a little tannic and dry, the oak stil playing a part.

WS 88pts

Wine Spectator

Spicy and balsamic, with aromas and flavors of sandalwood, vanilla, hay, eucalyptus and a hint of cherry. Lean and firms up on the compact finish. Best from 2026 through 2043. 375 cases made, 100 cases imported.

Winery Notes

Dark garnet. Hints of sage, rosemary, and earth on the nose. Firm, velvety tannins with a long, persistent finish. Pair with roasted red meat, truffled foods and aged cheeses.
