Cantina Bartolo Mascarello — Winery in Barolo

A sanctuary. Bartolo Mascarello (1927-2005) was the most outspoken traditionalist in all of Barolo: a man who wrote his political convictions on his labels (famous cuvées such as "No Barrique No Berlusconi") and who made his wine the way his father and grandfather did. After his death his daughter Maria Teresa took over. She makes the wine in exactly the same way: no technology, no compromises, no website. The small cellar in the heart of the village of Barolo has barely changed since the 18th century.
