From one of the most iconic and revered traditionalist estates in Barolo, the 2022 Bartolo Mascarello Langhe Nebbiolo is a wine of exceptional pedigree and purity. Sourced from the estate's younger vines in top crus, this is far from a simple Nebbiolo. The nose is hauntingly pure and aromatic, with notes of sour cherry, rose petal, and crushed raspberry, accented by hints of anise, tar, and fresh earth. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and beautifully transparent, with a firm, classic tannic structure and vibrant acidity that frames the pristine red fruit. The finish is long, savory, and mineral-driven. While approachable now with a decant, this is a serious wine with the potential to age gracefully.
