This wine was tasted as part of a vertical tasting held in London in April 2016. The wines were arranged in five thematic flights. The first flight is designed to prepare the palate with a collection of ready to drink vintages across various periods of the estate’s history.

Bartolo Mascarello's 2003 Barolo is terrific. The scorching heat took with it 30% of the production, which among other things, means the estate did not bottle magnums. Macerations were shorter than normal and the 2003 was bottled after two years in oak, which is less time in barrel than virtually all other traditionally minded estates, but an aging regime that has been the norm here for some time.

I saw Maria Teresa Mascarello on the evening of September 17; she had just begun harvesting nebbiolo. "We used to pick during the second half of October, but now it's more likely to be the second half of September," she said. "This year, the harvest is basically as early as it was in 2003. " While the shape of the growing season has changed in northwest Italy, practices here remain more or less constant, even though Maria Teresa has been renewing her large barrels on an ongoing basis since 1999 ("but still always Slovenian oak"). I tasted 2004 and 2003 Barolo on my latest visit, and I'm happy to report that both are strong efforts for their respective vintages.

Maria-Thérésa Mascarello has just completed a new tasting room which is strikingly modern in design, especially when compared to the rest of th is tiny cellar, which is as traditional as they come. Her 2003 Barolo is an unqualified success and subsequent vintages, led by the 2004, offer much potential.
