Robert Parker, Jr.-The Wine Advocate:  Rated as An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. "The 2008 Langhe Nebbiolo comes across as impeccably refined in its silky red fruit, flowers and spices, with an inner sweetness that is impossible to resist. The soft tannins make this approachable today, but it should drink well for a number of years. It is a jewel of a wine from Marco Parusso. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
It is one of three beautiful entry-level wines from Marco Parusso, one of Barolo’s leading producers." Aug 2010

Winery:  "The Langhe Nebbiolo in the Parusso version does not rely on the help of international varieties! Instead, this wine is more of a mini Barolo, emphasizing the beauty of the Nebbiolo grape in a pure form. This wine with its significantly lower price sticker compared to the Barolos will allow the younger wine drinker also to enjoy Nebbiolo at its best."

Wired For Wine:  To drink now or later, that is the question...  We say arrange for both options to happen.  Once you have a sip of this Parusso Langhe Nebbiolo, you will only want one thing: more!  Lasciate che il delizioso abbia inizio!  Lavish everyone with festively full glasses and a wild mushroom ragoût on crispy polenta with Comte cheese.  The perfect winter comfort food greeting for this mini Barolo.  As for the entree, red meats, game, cheese fonduta (fondue) are all terrific choices.  The silky red fruit of this Parusso will come alive with a rack of venison stuffed with pecans, currants, sausage and pears.  Make sure you're hungry.  A classic option for the lovely tannins and the beautifully refined side of this Nebbiolo is a beef tenderloin with potato cakes and a smoked paprika mayonnaise on the side.  Al di là delizioso.  The spice and floral notes of this Langhe Nebbiolo will pair gorgeously with braised rabbit served with a  grainy mustard sauce.  Take a breath, and then open another bottle to go with an earthy, creamy, fragrant Italian La Tur cheese.  It will bring out the spice in this Piemontese jewel, and be a mouthwatering juxtaposition for its velvety red fruit.
