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.

Wine Advocate (95)The 2005 Barolo is super-delicate and finessed. This is a decidedly restrained, feminine style of Barolo laced with roses, raspberries, jasmine and berries. It will be fascinating to see which direction the 2005 takes from here. At times the wine appears to be putting on additional weight, but it nevertheless retains an element of frailty that is actually quite attractive. I rate the 2005 just behind the 2004, 2006 and 2007, but it is a gorgeous wine, and easily one of the very finest wines of the vintage. |
