98 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The 2021 Parafada from Massolino captures the essence of the cru and the vintage thanks to its intensity, structure and radiance. It opens with heady scents of crushed rose petal, camphor, new leather and dark spice while the full-bodied palate delivers succulent raspberry, ripe cherry, licorice and tobacco before a long, savory finish. Firm, fine-grained tannins provide the framework while fresh acidity keeps it vibrant. The best Parada I’ve had in years from this estate, this is a wine I’d love to have in my own cellar. Drink 2023–2046. Abv: 14.5%. (Jan 2025)" 97 points Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas (JamesSuckling.com): "This is really perfumed, with violets, bark, attractive blue fruit and a touch of cedar. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with some juicy, pleasant fruit that is dominated by youthful, austere tannins that should resolve with time. This should come together in four to five years. (1/20/25)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Barolo Parafada is a gorgeous, super-expressive Serralunga Barolo with beautiful mid-palate depth and fine balance. Translucent, sculpted red-toned fruit, orange peel and chalk take shape in the glass. This opens beautifully through the finish, showing notable textural presence and tons of character. Drink: 2026-2041. (Jan 2025)"
