The standard-bearer for traditional Barolo, Bartolo Mascarello famously makes only one wine—a blend from holdings in four great crus: Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rocche dell'Annunziata, and Rue. Maria Teresa Mascarello continues her father's uncompromising approach: long maceration, large Slavonian oak, no barrique, no compromise. The iconic hand-painted labels proclaim "No Barrique, No Berlusconi"—a statement of aesthetic and political principles. The 2008 vintage was cool and elegant, producing wines of finesse rather than power. Now beautifully mature, this is Barolo as it was made for generations. Decant 2 hours before serving.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2008 Barolo (magnum) is a stunner, as it has always been. Intensely aromatic, silky and layered, the 2008 is so elegant. I especially admire its vibrancy and overall freshness, both signatures of the year. Plum, dried flowers, crushed rocks and lavender build in an undeniably sexy Barolo that hits all the right notes." -Antonio Galloni

"Traditional Barolo of the highest order: a little firm yet will mature beautifully."

Wine Spectator

WS 92
"There's a dark element to this intense, juicy red, offering black currant and blackberry notes, with a violet accent. Harmonious and supple, revealing refined tannins and a long, fruit-filled finish. Best from 2015 through 2028."
