About The Wine

Crafted only in the finest vintages, the 2013 Parusso Bussia Vigna Munie Riserva Oro is a singular expression of Barolo elegance and power. Sourced from the Munie parcel within the legendary Bussia cru, this Riserva is the crown jewel of Marco Parusso’s cellar—a wine of patience, precision, and profound terroir.

The Parusso estate, run by siblings Marco and Tiziana Parusso, is one of Barolo’s most innovative family wineries. Based in Monforte d’Alba, Parusso combines traditional Nebbiolo with bold, modern winemaking—fermenting on the lees and aging in small oak barrels to achieve remarkable texture and aromatic depth. Their site-specific approach and meticulous vineyard care have earned global acclaim.

Made entirely from Nebbiolo and aged for over two years on the lees in French oak, the 2013 Oro offers layers of complexity: dried cherry, rose petal, menthol, and forest spice unravel across a full-bodied, structured palate. There’s a sense of lift beneath the power—fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity carry through a long, licorice-tinged finish.

Awarded 96 points by Wine Advocate and 94 by James Suckling, this is a collector’s treasure with the bones to age beautifully through 2050.

Aging: 18 months in contact with its indigenous yeasts.

100% Nebbiolo. Delivers a strikingly complex profile. It opens with lifted aromas of dried cherry, rose petals, licorice, and forest floor, layered with hints of menthol, tobacco, and baking spice. On the palate, it’s powerful yet refined—silky tannins frame rich notes of sour cherry, black tea, leather, and sweet herbs, finishing long with a savory mineral edge and polished oak nuance.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

This is one of two special Gold Label wines being released now. The Parusso 2013 Barolo Riserva Bussia Vigna Munie is a monument to the hands-on and elaborate winemaking process practiced at this innovative estate. From a cool vintage, the wine has aged beautifully, falling into moments of sheer silkiness and smoothness when it hits the palate. However, there is tannic tightness on the close, and the wine's firm structure is intact, allowing for many more years of cellar aging. This is a special selection of fruit from the Vigna Munie that is found inside the Bussia MGA in Monforte d'Alba. This wine is only made in the best vintages, and this release is 1,893 bottles strong. ∼96 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
Medium deep ruby with a tawny rim. Great intensity, purity and complexity with layers of sweet berries, kirsch, chocolate praline, truffle, tobacco and fine wood. The palate has a very fine concentration with ample sweet fruit flavours yet within the frames of dryness with silky tannin, plenty of fine spice and floral notes. Very dense, long, and vigorous finish with good layers and complexity. ∼96 Andreas Larsson - Tasted
Solid and decisive in the primary matrix showing complexity in the alternation between ripe fruits, withered flowers and mixed spices. It gives emotion with scents of red prunes, geraniums, juniper berries and chinotto. Medium to full bodied, decidedly mature polymerized tannins and an honest, shining finale of remarkable persistency. Splendid now but will age in the best of manners. Better from 2024 onwards. ∼96 Raffaele Vecchione - WinesCritic.com
Elegantly poised mix of dried red fruit and spice on the nose. Full-bodied with fine, almost integrated tannins and a long finish. Still tightly packed. Best to hold for a while more. Try from 2025. ∼94 James Suckling
