This wine belongs to the ranks of structured whites, capable of evolving and improving as time goes by. It is very good with saltwater and some freshwater fish dishes, such as trout. The combination with white and red meats is exceptional when they are cooked slowly with delicate spices.
The natural richness of this site marries with the translucence of the year to produce a weightless yet powerful, highly nuanced Barolo that hits all the right notes. Dark cherry, lavender, spice, mint, rose petal and licorice develop in the glass, but it is the interplay of richness and lightness that elevates the Parafada into the realm of the truly sublime.
Sweet red berries, rose petals, sweet spices and mint all flesh out in a gorgeous wine loaded with pure pedigree. Best of all, flat-out delicious. Silky, polished tannins grace a finish of impeccable class. Simply put, this is a fabulous wine. Readers looking for a Nebbiolo to drink over the medium term will find much to admire here.
