{"product_id":"bartolo-mascarello-barolo-1999-1-5l","title":"Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo, 1999 (1.5L)","description":"A magnum of 1999 Barolo made by Bartolo Mascarello himself, from a vintage his daughter Maria Teresa still uses as a reference point: she has compared her 2019 to the famed 1999. Bartolo was one of the most traditional winemakers who ever lived. He refused the fashion for small French barriques and shorter macerations, and he was one of the \"Last of the Mohicans,\" alongside Teobaldo Cappellano and Giuseppe Rinaldi. The house method is as old-school as Barolo gets. Four crus (Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rue and Rocche dell'Annunziata) aren't just blended, they're co-fermented together in one long fermentation. Maria Teresa took over after his death in 2005 and has changed very little, but a bottle from before then is the real thing, straight from the man who defined the style. The estate is small, and the family has refused to buy more land to ramp up production. This is a big bottle for a table of friends who care about traditional Barolo, so stand it upright ahead of time and decant it off its sediment.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524981788729,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-154-16","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bartolo-Mascarello-Barolo-1999-1_5L-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_94165fe5.jpg?v=1790154651","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/bartolo-mascarello-barolo-1999-1-5l","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
