Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo 2021
Variety: Nebbiolo
Bartolo Mascarello is one of the most important names in Barolo, not because of scale or innovation, but because of refusal. Bartolo himself led the estate from the mid twentieth century until his death in 2005 and became a central figure in opposing the modernization movement that swept through Barolo in the 1980s and 1990s. He rejected barrique aging, short macerations, and single vineyard bottlings, believing they separated the wine from its broader context.
Today the estate is run by his daughter Maria Teresa Mascarello, who worked alongside her father for decades and has preserved his methods without compromise. The domaine remains small, farming just over five hectares of Nebbiolo across several historic vineyards. Vineyard work is manual and traditional, with low yields and no chemical shortcuts. Maria Teresa continues to assemble a blended Barolo drawn from multiple sites, maintaining her father’s belief that Barolo should be understood as a whole rather than as a collection of individual crus.
Bartolo Mascarello Barolo is a blend of Nebbiolo from historic vineyards including Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rue, and Rocche dell’Annunziata. These sites span different exposures and soil types, from calcareous marl to sandier limestone, contributing to balance across the final wine. Vines are mature and tended consistently year after year.
Fruit is harvested by hand and fermented with native yeasts in large vats. Macerations are long and conducted without temperature control. Aging takes place exclusively in large Slavonian oak casks for extended periods before bottling. The wine is released only when the estate believes it reflects the character of the blend and the intent behind the house style that has remained unchanged for generations.
