Parusso 2009 Mariondino (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Mariondino
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Parusso / Barolo

Here’s a Barolo that harkens back to the 1990s thanks to its aggressive oak, which was once so in vogue. It’s loaded with toasted oak, espresso and vanilla aromas, while the palate offers oak, coffee, plum and tongue-drying wood tannins.
