Critics Ratings

'Mascarello's 2008 Barolo is a wine of extraordinary elegance. A sweet, open bouquet leads to dark red fruit, mint, spices and licorice in this pretty, nuanced Barolo. The 2008 is all about detail and understated finesse. It boasts breathtaking purity in its fruit and fabulous overall balance. A textured, finely-knit finish leaves a lasting impression. The 2008 is very classic in style. It will require considerable patience, despite its deceptively medium-bodied structure. This is another dazzling wine from Maria-Theresa Mascarello. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038.' - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 96+/100 (Apr 2012)

'Barolo and La Morra. Mid crimson just beginning to lighten up on the rim. Very slow to emerge sweet fruit. Extracted and concentrated palate wrapping up quite bold tannin. Rich style but totally convincing.' - Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jun 2012)

'There's a dark element to this intense, juicy red, offering black currant and blackberry notes, with a violet accent. Harmonious and supple, revealing refined tannins and a long, fruit-filled finish. Best from 2015 through 2028.' - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Dec 2013)
