"I don't make wines in barriques. My wines don't have perfume of vanilla and Limousin oak." Bartolo Mascarello's defiant traditionalism lives on through his daughter Maria Teresa. This Dolcetto—spontaneous fermentation, extended maceration, large neutral botti—expresses pure terroir without modern interference. The 2024 harvest (October 3-15) was shaped by August hail but maintained quality through strict selection. Expect violet aromas, black cherry fruit, sweet spices, and the variety's signature bitter almond finish. No filtration, no compromise. Drink now through 2027.

Antonio Galloni

90 points

"The 2024 Dolcetto d'Alba is a very pretty, supremely elegant wine. Dolcetto as it used to be—light in body, aromatic and graceful, but with the finesse of today. That’s a hugely appealing combination in my book. Blue-toned fruit, lavender, cinnamon and new leather are all finely delineated in the glass. The 2024 is pure class." —Antonio Galloni

Kerin O'Keefe

"The 2024 Dolcetto from Bartolo Mascarello is a lovely wine with aromas of violet, cherry and citrus. Reflecting the nose, the smooth, savory palate features tart cherry, red licorice, orange slice, white pepper and star anise. Lithe tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced and bright. Drink through 2027." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Bartolo Mascarello

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.
