The traditional Barolo benchmark, from a legendary vintage. Bartolo Mascarello's Barolo is the classical four-vineyard assemblage Bartolo championed his whole life — Cannubi, San Lorenzo and Rue in the Barolo commune plus Rocche in La Morra — co-fermented and aged in large Slavonian botti, with no temperature control and roughly 50 days on the skins. Daughter Maria Teresa took over in 2005 and makes the wine exactly as her father did. The 2010 is one of Piedmont's great modern vintages, marrying power with precision, and fifteen years on it's just stepping into its long peak: tar, dried rose, sour cherry, leather, dried orange peel, anise and forest floor over taut, still-firm tannins. A library wine you can either drink with a long carafe tonight or cellar for another two decades.

"Still embryonic, Mascarello’s 2010 Barolo (magnum) shows all the classicism it did when I first tasted it from cask many years ago. There is a feeling of crystalline purity and translucence here that is simply captivating. This is Nebbiolo and Barolo in all its glory in what has turned out to be an epic vintage for the estate. Time in the glass brings out scents of lavender, dried flowers and dark fruit, all wrapped together by huge swaths of tannin. Readers lucky enough to own the 2010 are in for a tremendous treat." —Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

"The 2010 Barolo is a singularly elegant expression that benefits from extremely long maceration time (up to 54 days) and a non-interventionists’ winemaking philosophy. The wine is superb in its elegance and finesse that caresses the palate in the most delicate and ethereal manner imaginable. Small fruit tones are enhanced by ash, crushed mineral, licorice and dried mint. Because of changes in how Barolo can be labeled, the wine no longer carries the names of the four single-vineyards that make up the traditional blend for this wine (Canubbi, San Lorenzo, Rue and Rocche di La Morra). Instead, this historic wine is now labeled straightforward “Barolo.” Drink: 2017-2038." —Monica Larner

"Pure floral red berries and refined tannins; an essence of Barolo."

Wine Spectator

97 points

"A floral-, cherry- and berry-laced version, delicate and lively, with mineral and spice accents. The texture is supple, with a glycerol feel. Borders on racy, with woodsy and mineral notes emerging on the pleasantly long finish."

"From one of the denomination’s leading traditional producers, this gorgeous, elegant Barolo opens with floral aromas of dried rose petals, woodland berries, leather, spice and whiffs of balsamic herbs. The delicious palate seamlessly combines crunchy red cherry-berry, white pepper and mint balanced by firm but polished tannins and bright acidity. This is a hallmark Barolo full of finesse that will age majestically. Drink after 2020. Polaner Selections, Rare Wine Co." —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

Pure Piedmont feast: brasato al Barolo, hare with pappardelle, tajarin with white truffle, roast goose, or aged Castelmagno and Bra Duro. A long, gentle carafe pour (sediment in mind) an hour or two ahead.

Tasting Profile

Full-bodied, traditional Barolo, just opening. Tar, dried rose, sour cherry, leather, dried orange peel, anise and forest floor. Tannins firm and finely woven; acidity classical-vintage bright. Drinking beautifully now and through the 2040s.
