A fierce defender of historical blending, the estate rejects modern single-vineyard separation to artfully combine four of the appellation's most beautiful crus: Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rué, and Rocche di Annunziata. Vinified in the old style in cement tanks with very long macerations, then aged exclusively in large, neutral oak foudres, this Barolo embodies a purity, finesse, and poetic elegance unparalleled in all of Piedmont.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e2013 Vintage: The Excellence of a Great Classic Year\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2013 vintage in Barolo was demanding and late, rewarding only exceptional winemakers capable of waiting for the perfect maturity of the Nebbiolo. At Bartolo Mascarello, this meticulous work resulted in a monumental success. Far from easy, sunny vintages, this 2013 shines with surgically precise balance, vibrant freshness, and tannins of aristocratic nobility. It is a rare opportunity to taste a truly great achievement from this classic vintage, built to gracefully endure for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition and Provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced directly from the estate and preserved in the private cellar of a particularly discerning Swiss connoisseur, this bottle offers absolute guarantees of integrity and conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Private cellar of a prominent Swiss connoisseur (perfect temperature-controlled storage, direct from the estate).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiquid Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect (into the neck, original level).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Translucent ruby red with garnet and slightly brick-red nuances, brilliant and clear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e New, intact, impeccable condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect, hermetic, and originally sealed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Impression:\u003c\/strong\u003e A bottle in perfect condition, ready for exceptional tasting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAromatic Profile and Food Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, the wine expresses a bouquet of rare poetry: faded rose petal, morello cherry, dried orange peel, sweet tar, noble leather, undergrowth, and hints of truffle. On the palate, the attack is very direct. The texture is ethereal while displaying impressive depth, supported by a chiseled tannic framework and a memorable saline persistence.
