The Bartolo Mascarello 2020 Langhe DOC Nebbiolo is a masterpiece that celebrates the authenticity and tradition of Piedmontese viticulture. Hailing from the historic Mascarello winery, located in the heart of the Langhe, this label stands out for its timeless elegance and the aromatic richness that showcases the Nebbiolo variety in all its glory.
The 2020 vintage benefitted from favorable weather conditions, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, resulting in a wine characterized by a complex aromatic profile. Upon opening, the bouquet unfolds with enveloping notes of ripe cherries, withered roses, and a delicate hint of pine resin, interwoven with subtle minerality. On the palate, the wine expresses its full power, with well-integrated tannins and a lively freshness that balances its structure. The finish is remarkable, with echoes of sweet spices and a slight touch of tobacco.
Perfect for enjoying now but with an incredible aging potential, it pairs excellently with rich and savory dishes, such as braised beef in Barolo or a classic Piedmontese ragù. It also serves well at room temperature alongside aged cheeses, where its complexity further shines. This Nebbiolo is a true ode to tradition, a sensory experience that speaks of terroir and passion, making it a must-have for wine lovers and collectors alike.
