At Bartolo Mascarello—one of the most revered names in traditional Barolo—even the Dolcetto is made with the same devotion as the flagship: hand-farmed vines, native-yeast fermentation, large old casks. Dolcetto is built for early drinking, so this 2012 is now well into maturity, trading its juicy youth for a softer, more savory, mellow profile. A back-vintage bottle from a private collection, best enjoyed now while it still has its charm.

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

Margherita pizza, prosciutto and melon, lentil stew, or grilled sausages.

Tasting Profile

Medium-bodied, soft, low-acid red. Mature now: the original dark fruit has mellowed into earthy, dried-fruit, savory tones.
