Maria Teresa Mascarello describes 2020 as a year with a warm, early spring, then good rains in May and June, and a warm summer with no heat spikes. The Nebbiolo harvest took place from October 2 to October 8. Mascarello gave her 2020 55 days on the skins, with submerged cap maceration, the approach she uses for better vintages. At this stage, I find the 2020 a bit closed, certainly more so than how the wine showed in barrel. It will be interesting to see how that wine develops in the coming years. Although Barolo is clearly the star here, Mascarello's entry-level offerings are every bit as compelling to this taster.

Maria Teresa Mascarello turned out a gorgeous 2019 Barolo. Harvest started on October 8, a time marked by the cool nights that favor Nebbiolo. Mascarello gave her 2019 a month on the skins but passed on submerged cap maceration, as she felt the skins were a bit thin. As always, both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation are spontaneous and done without temperature control. “It’s nice to see a return to more typical alcohol levels for us,” she added. Even after all these years, the Bartolo Mascarello Barolo remains a reference point, but the entire range has been impressive for some time.
