The Story
A Barolo from Bartolo Mascarello, the legendary traditional estate, in the classic 2013 vintage. Since 1918 the family has stayed true to the old ways; Maria Teresa Mascarello co-ferments four crus (Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rue, Rocche dell'Annunziata) and ages the wine in large Slavonian botti. 2013 was a structured, classically built vintage with bright acidity and firm tannins, so this is a Barolo for the cellar that is just starting to show its perfume. Decant well ahead and give it air.
