WINE DESCRIPTION
This 2014 Barolo from Bartolo Mascarello is a classic expression of the Nebbiolo grape, offering aromas of red rose, violets, and ripe cherries. On the palate, the wine has a wonderfully structured texture, with firm tannins and a hint of acidity. The flavors are an exquisite blend of ripe red fruit, earth, and leather, all of which linger on the lengthy and persistent finish. This is an outstanding Barolo that is drinking well now and will continue to improve in the cellar for years to come.
