1989 Parusso "Mariondino" Barolo (1.5L)

Bid on this 3-magnum lot of 1989 Parusso Mariondino Barolo (1.5L), a rare, mature large-format Barolo from the Parusso family’s Monforte d’Alba estate, sourced from the Mariondino cru in Castiglione Falletto, prized for Barolos that marry structure with elegance and perfume. From the legendary 1989 vintage, one of the greatest of the 20th century, and more than three decades on in magnum, expect a fully mature, deeply complex Nebbiolo with dried cherry, rose petal, orange peel, tar, leather, truffle, tobacco and forest floor, with resolved tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, savory finish. A collector’s large-format treasure from a benchmark Piedmont vintage, ideal with braised meats, game and white truffle dishes.
