    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Maria Teresa Mascarello is one of the region’s flagbearers for traditionally-made Barolo, taking the baton from her father Bartolo and grandfather Giulio who founded the estate in 1919. Tradition here means producing a blend that is greater than the sum of its parts. Vineyards include many choice parcels, amongst which are Rocche dell’Annunziata, San Lorenzo, Cannubi and Rue. The Barolo is aged in large used slavoninan oak cask for three years before bottling. These are some of most refined, nuanced delicately-balanced Barolos money can buy.

    Antonio Galloni,
    Vinous
    We start with the 2012 Barolo from Bartolo Mascarello, which is everything I expect. Perfumed, gracious and utterly sublime, the 2012 is all nuance. It is a real treat to taste and drink after two weeks of tasting embryonic six-month-old Bordeaux. It is also absolutely gorgeous with some of the lighter first courses on the menu. I can see the bewildered faces of my guests, all them native or adopted Bordeaux locals. “How can a wine be so light and yet deliver so much depth and persistence?” That, in a nutshell is what Nebbiolo is all about.
