| Description: | Bartolo Mascarello's adherence to age-old Barolo customs — which included sustainably growing his grapes, devotion to crafting cuvée Barolo from his 12 acres of holdings, extended macerations of up to 50 days, fermenting in cement without temperature control, and aging in ancient neutral botti — distinguished him from his Barolo brethren, who flocked to more modern protocol. Bartolo's passion for the preservation of Barolo's historic past dates back to 1918, when Giulo Mascarello founded the estate, and these methods remain the cornerstone today. While the Mascarello estate sports enviable holdings in Cannubi, San Lorenzo and Rué, located in the commune of Barolo, as well as in La Morra's Rocche in the commune of La Morra, it still has never released a cru wine. Blending, Bartolo believed, provided balance, especially in challenging vintages. Maria Teresa, who assumed leadership of the estate in 2005 when her father passed, sees no reason to change her father's ways (or those of his father, and his before him). After all, there's no improving upon perfection. |
