The Bartolo Mascarello 2012 Barolo is a beautiful wine that is endowed by a deep sense of purity and clarity. What else should you expect from the producer whose name is forever linked to the definition of traditional Barolo? The wine is vibrant and elegant with an evident sense of inner grace that translates to both the nose and the mouthfeel. Silky and polished, the wine reveals delicate tones of wild rose, forest berry, licorice, dried ginger and cola. Maria Teresa Mascarello used the word "fragile" to describe this vintage and I think it is a poetically appropriate term for this wine.

A mélange of floral, berry, licorice, spice and tobacco aromas and flavors signal this stylish, well-structured red. Lively and intense, with a resonant aftertaste of fruit, iron and tar, showing fine harmony and length. Best from 2022 through 2038. 1,100 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
