Bartolo Mascarello is shorthand for excellence in Piedmont—the family name carries weight because Maria Teresa Mascarello, who took over from her father, continues his uncompromising standards. While known for Barolo, Mascarello's Barbera d'Alba reveals how seriously this house treats every wine. Grapes from Alba, Diano d'Alba, and La Morra are aged in stainless steel to preserve intensity, resulting in a robust, juicy wine driven by the grape's natural acidity. This is Barbera as it should be—simple, direct, food-friendly, and honest. No apologies, no pretense.

"You’ll find inviting aromas of violet, underbrush and wild berry on the juicy 2023 Barbera d’Alba from Bartolo Mascarello. Smooth and delicious, the succulent palate doles out ripe black cherry and orange zest alongside earthy notes recalling black olive and truffle. Polished tannins offer lithe support. Drink through 2029." —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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pair with charcuterie, aged cheeses, or rustic braised meats. The acidity cuts through fat and salt beautifully. Also excellent with hearty pasta dishes with meat ragù.
