Palladino 2005 Parafada (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Parafada
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Palladino / Barolo

Barolo Parafada is a very ripe expression of Nebbiolo with thick aromas of chocolate, raspberry, blueberry jam and cola that suggest hot growing conditions. The wine does have balance and structure though, especially in the mouth where firm tannins leave a lasting impression.
