Barolo 'Parafada'2011

94

Cellar Selection-Full-bodied and delicious, this opens with aromas of red berry, rose, underbrush, kitchen spice and a balsamic note. The structured palate doles out juicy wild cherry, crushed raspberry, clove, white pepper, grilled herb, vanilla and mineral alongside firm, fine-grained tannins. It already has nice depth but hold for more complexity. Drink 2019–2031

Barolo 'Parafada' 2022

96

Austere with aromas of sweet violets, strawberries, watermelon and blood oranges. Subtle on the attack with full body and quite elegant tannins: firm, extracted yet integrated. Crisp acidity pushes the length. Very floral and savory in the finish. Drinkable now but best from 2027.

An intense and deep Barolo characterized by a multilayered nose of graphite, wild strawberries,cherry stones, licorice and touches of mint and blood oranges. Ripe, fine-tuned tannins that are elegant and savory, with a full body, crisp acidity and a dense and persistent aftertaste. Drinkable now due to its elegance, but best from 2026.
