{"product_id":"bartolo-mascarello-langhe-nebbiolo-2017","title":"Bartolo Mascarello, Langhe Nebbiolo, 2017","description":"This is the most direct way into Bartolo Mascarello without buying the Barolo. It's Nebbiolo made by the same people, in the same cellar and in the same stubborn way. Maria Teresa Mascarello took over from her father, Bartolo, and makes tiny amounts of Langhe Nebbiolo alongside the Barolo, which accounts for most of what the estate produces. All the wines are fermented in old concrete vats with only a basic temperature-control system. A porous wooden board weighted down with a brick keeps the cap of skins under the wine, and afterward the wine ages in big Gerbellotto casks, never in small barriques. Avoiding small barrels is practically the family motto: when barrique-aged Barolo became fashionable, Bartolo answered with a hand-written label reading \"No Barrique, No Berlusconi.\" He also refused to bottle single vineyards separately and kept making one blended Barolo from four vineyards in Barolo and La Morra. Maria Teresa still follows his rules, with long macerations and nothing trendy. If you've wondered what all the fuss about traditional Barolo is, this is a smart, honest place to start.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524969173049,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-103-10","price":82.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Bartolo-Mascarello-Langhe-Nebbiolo-2017-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York_b4391371.jpg?v=1790154426","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/bartolo-mascarello-langhe-nebbiolo-2017","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
