Barolo DOCG 2017

Meinungen

“Showing a light ruby shine that radiates from the glass, the Bartolo Mascarello 2017 Barolo proves once again that elegance can be achieved, despite the many challenges of an extreme vintage, when worked by the right hands. In this case, the hands are those of Bartolo’s daughter, the legendary Maria Teresa Mascarello. This celebrated Barolo boasts a silky sheen and glossy character that transcends bouquet and mouthfeel. Wild cherry, lilac, iron ore and candied orange peel are revealed softly on the bouquet. The wine takes a few minutes to open before all those pretty little details come into view. Acidity is an important component of this graceful Barolo, as it ties together the fruit and heightens that sense of electricity and liveliness. This is a collectors’ bottle to keep safely in your cellar.” Monica Larner ROBERT PARKER

“The 2017 Barolo is gracious, perfumed and very nicely lifted. An effusive, floral bouquet opens first, followed by a rush of red berry fruit. Nervous, a bit wiry at this stage, the 2017 is going to need at least a few years to fully open, but all the elements are in place to allow that to happen. Maria Teresa Mascarello’s Barolo is one of the most elegant and restrained wines of the year. It’s not an immediately impressive or captivating wine at this stage. The purity of the flavors is just striking, though. Give it a few years to blossom.” Antonio Galloni VINOUS

“In 2015, Maria-Teresa Mascarello uprooted the estate’s San Lorenzo vines, which no longer feature in this impressive blend. The 2017, as with the exceptional 2016, instead includes grapes from Monrobiolo di Bussia. Harvest was completed on 23 September, more or less two weeks earlier than average. In the winery, the maceration was reduced from the usual 40-50 days to 20. Subdued rose and tar notes are joined by a leafy lightness, then a crystalline definition of red berries in both aroma and flavour. Velvety tannins and assertive acidity hold the wine in tension and balance, powered by orange savouriness. It’s more delicate and less extracted than 2016, but with similar ageing potential.” Aldo Fiordelli 03/2021 DECANTER

“Funkelndes, aufhellendes Granatrot. Sehr duftige und ansprechende Nase, zeigt Noten nach reifen Waldhimbeeren, Zwetschken und Rosenblättern, etwa Hagebuttengelee im Hintergrund. Im vorderen Bereich fein herausgearbeitet, reife Frucht, viel Zwetschke, öffnet sich dann mit griffigem, feinem Tannin, viele Schichten, im Finale süßer Schmelz” Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler 11/2021 Falstaff

“Duftspiel von roten Beeren, Marille, Rosen, feingliedriges Fruchtspiel, reife Waldbeeren in toller Klarheit und Transparenz, etwas Wacholder, eleganter Kühle-Touch, viele Nuancen, beeindruckende Stilistik von kraftvoller Dichte in vollendeter Balance von Finesse und toller Fruchttiefe, druckvoll bis ins lange Finale, einfach großartig, superb!” Uwe Schögl VINARIA 07/21

Speiseempfehlung

Es gibt wenige Fleischspeisen, die nicht von dieser Weinbegleitung geadelt würden. Wohlschmeckend ist sicherlich dazu ein Englischer Rindsbraten (nach Katharina Prato)
