A single-vineyard Barolo from the west-facing Parussi cru in Castiglione Falletto — a site the estate had not bottled since the 2004 vintage before its celebrated 2016 revival. Combines ripe, fruity character with Castiglione's characteristic velvety tannic poise.
Parussi shows Bovio venturing outside La Morra with real success — dried flowers, strawberry and crushed limestone over velvety, structured tannins.
