Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo , 2019 (1.5L)

There is only one Barolo at Bartolo Mascarello. Blended from four grand crus and aged in large old botti, this wine represents the most traditional, uncompromising vision of Barolo. No single-vineyard bottlings, no modern makeup—just Nebbiolo handled with love, patience, and conviction. The 2019 vintage brings everything into balance: lifted aromatics of rose petal, sour cherry, tar, and mint give way to a tightly woven structure of fine tannins and vibrant acidity. There’s no flash here—just quiet depth and endless nuance. It’s Barolo that whispers rather than shouts, revealing its layers slowly over time. In magnum, the aging potential is even greater. This is a wine for the cellar, for a future celebration, or for a long, contemplative evening with people who understand that sometimes the most profound things come from tradition, not trend.
