CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2019 Barolo Parafada is a wine of tremendous inner strength, as if all of its energy is focused inwards. Dark cherry, smoke, leather, gravel, scorched earth and licorice slowly come alive in the glass. Dense, potent and muscular, the 2019 offers tons of textural intensity and brooding, virile power. It is fascinating to taste next to the Margheria, which is a bit more aromatic and nuanced, while the Parafada is all muscle. This is one of the best editions I can remember tasting.

Serralunga d Alba. Small, possibly underrated vineyard. Very steep, south facing on white limestone. 5,000 bottles made.Autumn-mulch nose. Fragrant and mineral and the fruit trumps the tannin more than in Margheria. Less pinched and drying. Vibrato finish. (JR)
