Located, as its name suggests, at the foot of the Alps bordering France and Switzerland, Piedmont is the second largest of Italy’s 20 regions, after Sicily.
\nRecognized for its industry like Fiat in Turin, Piedmont is also one of the greatest regions in the world in terms of cuisine (don\u2019t forget the white truffles from Alba!) and wine!
\nWith 42 DOC and 17 DOCG, Piedmont has more wine appellations than any other Italian region. Barolo, Barbaresco, Barbera but also Moscato or Dolcetto are demanded all over the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6202″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The Parusso family story is one of dedication, passion, and a constant desire to improve through experimentation. Their dedication to their craft drives them to rediscover knowledge, traditions, and the ancient vineyard arts of their ancestors.
\nThe story started in 1901 when Gaspare Parusso purchased the Mariondino plot.
\nNowadays, Armando Parusso is run by Marco Parusso and his sister Tiziana. The estate has 30 hectares of vineyards.
\nSome 120,000 bottles of Barolo, primarily, are produced annually. Though relatively small, this estate has been earning high compliments from wine journals, including the influential Italian Gambero Rosso, which calls it an estate \u201cwhich boasts some of the best terroirs in the entire zone.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

“What an exotic wine, showing highly pronounced and lifted aromas of plum liqueur, earth, cedar, tobacco, leather, morello cherries, tons of baking spices and then a pure, simply unmistakable rose character. Full-bodied and very intense on the palate but reserved and subtle at the same time with juicy, structured tannins and a long finish.” – James Suckling, 96 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Nebbiolo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6222,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
