There is no single-vineyard Mascarello Barolo—there never has been. Bartolo himself believed that blending all his parcels together produced a more complete wine than any one site alone, and his daughter Maria Teresa continues that tradition. Fruit from Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rué, and Rocche dell'Annunziata is cofermented in old cement and wooden vats for thirty to fifty days, then aged three years in large 2,500-liter Slavonian oak botti. No temperature control, no small barriques, no concessions to fashion. The 2008 was a classic, challenging Piedmont vintage: spring storms, disease pressure, and a late ripening cycle rescued by warm, dry weather from mid-August onward. The resulting wine is all elegance and structure—red cherry, dried rose, tar, and iron—with the tannins and acidity to evolve for decades. Only about twelve hundred and fifty cases made. The purest expression of traditional Barolo still in production.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 98
"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

Jancis Robinson

JR 16
"Clear, dark blackish ruby. Herbal leaf-mould aromas. A tiny bit stodgy. No aromatic lift. Correct but not exciting."

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."
