Barolo Bartolo Mascarello is an elegant red wine from Piedmont, regarded as a symbol of the classic Langhe tradition. It is handcrafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes grown in four historic crus (Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rue, and Rocche di La Morra), whose grapes are blended from the outset rather than vinified separately. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks with native yeasts, and the wine is aged for about 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks, with no use of barriques.
In the glass, it shows a deep garnet red color, tending toward orange as it evolves. On the nose, it opens slowly with complex, layered aromas of dried rose, violet, sweet spices, licorice, cherry in spirit, truffle, leather, and subtle balsamic and earthy notes. On the palate, it reveals great structure and depth, with firm yet finely integrated tannins, a vibrant acidity that supports the overall balance, and a long, elegant finish that is dry and harmonious.
Questo Barolo trova la sua massima espressione in abbinamento a piatti ricchi e strutturati come brasati, arrosti di selvaggina, formaggi stagionati a pasta dura, piatti al tartufo bianco e risotti con funghi porcini. È ideale per occasioni formali, cene importanti e momenti di celebrazione.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 18–20°C.
