2008 Barolo, Bartolo Mascarello, Piedmont, Italy Size:150cl The wine has the perfectUnlike the previous 2007 vintage, Mascarello Bartolos 2008 Nebbiolo fruit was harvested with more bunches (as no hail damage), more acidity, a lower pH and a lower level of alcohol. In 2008 Maria Teresa held her nerve until after the September rains and harvested the rewards under the October sun. Almost ruby in colour, there is emphatic loganberry and currant fruit, ripeness, distilled kirsch and griottine fruit. (David Berry Green, BBR Italian Buyer)
