Bartolo Mascarello’s 2020 Barolo is a masterful interpretation of the Langhe tradition, a blend of grapes from the Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Ruè and Rocche dell’Annunziata crus. This ruby red with garnet hues releases an intense bouquet of ripe red fruits, rose petals, sweet spices and a touch of wet earth. Aged for 32 months in large oak barrels, it offers a rich and enveloping palate, with silky tannins and a freshness that balances the generosity of the warm vintage. A Barolo of great balance, which opens pleasantly but promises a spectacular evolution in the decades to come.
