{"product_id":"bartolo-mascarello-barolo-1997-1-5l","title":"Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo, 1997 (1.5L)","description":"A magnum of Barolo made by Bartolo Mascarello himself, right in the middle of the years he spent holding the line against barrique. When new-oak Barolo swept the region in the late 1980s and 1990s, Bartolo hand-drew a \"No Barrique, No Berlusconi\" label and slipped copies into random cases like golden tickets. He said barrique turned Barolo into \"a clown with rouged cheeks\". Earlier he had turned down the single-cru fashion too, arguing that his four vineyards (Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rue and Rocche dell'Annunziata) made a better wine together. The house doesn't just blend them: it co-ferments them in one long fermentation. In Barolo, 1997 was a warm, ripe year that gave generous, flattering wines, so here a sunny season meets a completely uncompromising house. His daughter Maria Teresa took over in 2005 and still makes the wine his way, on an estate of about five hectares that has refused to grow and sells much of its wine to private clients who come each year to collect their share. This is a big bottle for a table of friends, so stand it upright ahead of time and decant it off its sediment.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525011968057,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-285-33","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bartolo-Mascarello-Barolo-1997-1_5L-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1790155000","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/bartolo-mascarello-barolo-1997-1-5l","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
