Summary
A devout traditionalist, Bartolo Mascarello considered himself one of the self-proclaimed „last Mohicans of the old guard“ in Barolo (along with Cappellano and Rinaldi). His ideals were centered upon the principle that, despite having vineyards in some of the best crus of Barolo, the most classic and complete Barolo was a blend of various sites. Today, the estate is run by the late Bartolo’s daughter, Maria Teresa. Her approach, like her father’s, is to honor traditional, historical styles of Barolo while using ripe fruit from low yielding vines.
Style & Vinification Techniques
A staunch traditionalist, Bartolo Mascarello ferments with indigenous yeasts in concrete vat without the aid of temperature control. The old technique of “cappello sommerso” is used, where the cap of seeds and skins is held within the fermenting wine instead of punched down. Wines are aged in old, large botti, including some made from chestnut.
