![Bottle of Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo, 2016 (1.5L) [DO NOT SELL] - Flatiron Wines & Spirits - New York](http://nyc.flatiron-wines.com/cdn/shop/files/Bartolo-Mascarello-Barolo-2016-1_5L-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1712760105)
Bartolo made a name for himself resisting the modernizing trends in the region, encapsulated by a message he put on a hand-drawn bottle label: “No Barriques, No Berlusconi”. He died a few years ago but the domain is now in the gifted hands of his daughter Maria Theresa, who has raised the profile even further with a series of fabulous vintages. Still hewing rigorously to tradition (long macerations, and no barriques!), they are one of the very few domains to still release just one Barolo made from a blend of all their parcels (as was generally the case before single vineyard cuvees started to appear in the 1960s). 30% of the Barolo comes from Rocche di Annunziata in La Morra; the rest from three different vineyards in the commune of Barolo: Rue, San Lorenzo and Cannubi.
