Maria Teresa Mascarello's 2021 Barolo is a quintessential wine for the vintage in its pliant fruit and understated depth. Harvest took place between the first and second week of October. The 2021 saw 48 days on the skins with submerged cap maceration before being racked into cask in November. Mascarello's entry-level wines are equally inviting, although small production makes them hard to find and pricier in the market than they really should be.

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.
