Gianfranco Bovio Bricco Parussi Barolo DOCG, Italy 2018 Conundrum Wines But then on the palatePackaged with a dark red label, the 2018 Barolo Parussi is tart and sharp with a firm and angular personality that absolutely fits with the character of fruit from Castiglione Falletto at the center of the Barolo appellation. This pretty wine slides along the palate, imparting notes of wild cherry, crushed stone and rusty nail. It makes an especially good showing on the palate with nice structure and a long finish. 94 Pts Monica Larner, Robert Parker
