Bartolo Mascarello
About Bartolo Mascarello
A small family winery, run by Maria Teresa Mascarello, daughter of the iconic Barolo producer Bartolo Mascarello. Traditional techniques dominate: low vineyard yields, fermentation in cement tanks, long maceration and the use of large oak casks to age the wine. The age-old custom of blending the Nebbiolo grapes from their prime vineyard sites in Cannubi, San Lorenzo and Rué in Barolo, and Rocche in La Morra is still practised today.
Amongst the bevvy of spectacular wines they produce, it is the Barolo Artist Labels that remain the most collectable.

Vinous (97)The 2015 Barolo is outrageously beautiful. Best of all, it will drink well with minimal cellaring. Rich, sumptuous and super-expressive, the 2015 is such a showy and expressive wine. Bright red cherry, red plum, blood orange, mint, star anise and dried flowers are all given an extra kick of textural richness in this flashy, exceptionally ripe Barolo. I loved it. |

Wine Advocate (100)This is the stuff of dreams. Tasted so young, I did a lot of coaxing to nudge the wine along, thanks to a double decant and a few extra hours in an open bottle. I tasted both samples I had over the course of a few weeks. Those efforts served well, but the wine remains packed tight and full of nervous energy regardless, indicating that its true potential won't be seen for another 10 or 20 years, or likely more. The Bartolo Mascarello 2016 Barolo is a true icon of the vintage. The approach is elongated and silky, like lifting honey from a jar. The aromas are chiseled and focused with wild berry, licorice, candied orange peel, campfire ash, rusted iron, crushed graphite and pencil shaving. The wine's personality is downplayed, elegant and demure in one tasting but exuberant and expressive in the next. The tannins show snap and crunch, indicating they will drive the wine forward over many years of cellar age. This is one of those rare wines that is poised to improve with each increment of time. Structurally, it is perfect. If we were to create a template for an aspirational Barolo, this would be it. |
