Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo, 2020 (1.5L)
Bartolo Mascarello spent his life arguing that Barolo is a blend of places rather than a single one, and his daughter Maria Teresa has never wavered from it. There are no single-cru bottlings here and no barriques. Fruit from the family's plots is fermented together, long and slow, and raised in large old casks, which is why one wine comes out of this cellar every year instead of four. The 2020 draws on five sites for the first time: Cannubi, Rue and San Lorenzo in Barolo, Rocche dell'Annunziata in La Morra, and leased vines in Monrobio di Bussia, with San Lorenzo returning to the blend for the first time since 2014 after being grubbed up and replanted. This is the magnum, which is the format this wine was arguably made for: same juice, slower clock, and a bottle worth building a table around. Tightly wound now, and in no hurry at all.
