Bartolo Mascarello, the defender of tradition in Barolo, blended grapes from several crus, including Cannubi, into a single Barolo aged in large casks. The estate is now run by his daughter Maria Teresa.

The vintage 1982. 1982 is a great, classic Piedmont vintage, now in glorious maturity.

Rose, red cherry, tar, dried herbs and spice; fine, firm tannins and a long, savoury finish.
