Bartolo Mascarello made this one with his own hands. The legendary traditionalist famously refused to bottle single-vineyard Barolos his entire career — every vintage was the classical blend of Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rué, and Rocche di La Morra into one Barolo, full stop. Daughter Maria Teresa now carries that line, but 1982 is pure Bartolo: a warm vintage of his middle period, vinified and aged exactly as his father had taught him, in 50hl Slavonian botti, no shortcuts. Forty-three years on, this is fully mature, fully resolved Mascarello — a cult wine from one of Italy's most respected names, made in the era that defined the house. No upside, just history. Drink with people who understand.

"The 1982 Barolo (magnum) has always been a special wine for me. It is the first older Bartolo Mascarello wine I tasted. Ever since then, I have been captivated by its seductive magic. On this night, it is fabulous. Penetrating aromatics meld into a core of delineated red-fleshed fruit in a Barolo that gains energy with air. This is as classic as classic gets. A masterpiece." —Antonio Galloni

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.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Bartolo was a Piedmontese to his core — agnolotti del plin in butter, brasato al Barolo with polenta, or roasted guinea hen with truffle. A plate of aged Castelmagno will close it perfectly.

Tasting Profile

Mature, perfumed, philosophical. Dried rose, sweet cherry, tobacco, leather, truffle, and gentle balsamic earth. The blend's signature complexity shows — no single voice dominates, everything in conversation. Long, savory, quietly bitter finish.
