As it opens up, earthy nuances of tobacco, leather, and a touch of spice emerge, adding layers of depth. On the palate, this Barolo is structured, with firm yet refined tannins that give the wine both power and elegance. The acidity is vibrant, supporting the wine’s rich fruit while maintaining freshness and balance. The finish is long and evolving, with lingering notes of dark fruit, earth, and a subtle mineral edge.
Perfect with hearty dishes like roasted meats, truffle risotto, or aged cheeses, this wine has the structure to age beautifully, developing even more complexity in the cellar over the next decade or more. Bartolo Mascarello’s Barolo 2013 is a wine that not only reflects the essence of Barolo but also embodies the legacy and craftsmanship of one of the region’s finest producers. A true classic, it’s the kind of wine that rewards both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.
