{"product_id":"bartolo-mascarello-barbera-2017","title":"Bartolo Mascarello, Barbera, 2017","description":"Barbera from one of Barolo's most revered traditionalist houses, grown inside the commune of Barolo itself. Bartolo Mascarello takes its Barbera from parts of the San Lorenzo vineyard that suit Nebbiolo less well. So this is Barolo-cru ground, just the corners Nebbiolo doesn't love. The house makes only small amounts of Barbera next to its Barolo, which is most of what it produces, and it treats the Barbera the same way: old cement vats, and a cap held under with a porous wooden board weighed down by a brick (no fancy kit here). Bartolo built that low-tech approach, with native yeasts, no temperature control and neutral botti, some of them ancient chestnut casks. He made no crus and no barrique wines, and he called himself \"the last of the Mohicans.\" His daughter Maria Teresa took over in 2005 and makes the wine as her father did, maybe with a bit more elegance and consistency. When the house's importer calls its Barbera vibrant, juicy and thoroughly Piedmontese, that's the point: this is the everyday bottle from a cellar whose Barolo you'd wait years to open.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524953509945,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-48-5","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bartolo-Mascarello-Barbera-2017-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_aa68d99b.jpg?v=1790154158","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/bartolo-mascarello-barbera-2017","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
