The 2012 Barolo DOCG by Mascarello Bartolo is a winemaking masterpiece that embodies the tradition and elegance of the Piedmont region. Sourced from historic vineyards in La Morra, this wine is made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, a native variety that expresses the terroir in a unique way. On the nose, the Barolo presents a complex bouquet, where notes of ripe berries, such as cherries and plums, harmoniously intertwine with hints of spices, tobacco, and wilted roses, characteristic of barrel aging.
On the palate, the structure is powerful yet velvety, with well-integrated tannins that provide a sense of fullness. The wine evolves beautifully in the glass, revealing further nuances of leather and a hint of licorice. The minerality adds an extra layer of complexity, making the finish long and persistent.
This 2012 Barolo pairs wonderfully with rich dishes such as Barolo braised meat, game, and aged cheeses. A wine that speaks of passion and dedication, perfect for enjoying on special occasions or simply to savor the best of Piedmontese winemaking tradition. Sipping it is a journey through the vineyards of the Langhe, where time seems to stand still, revealing the beauty of nature and the art of wine.
