Note di degustazione
The 2010 Barbera d’Alba (two years in botte grande) is a sculpted and refined expression of the grape that shows poise and beauty. Lively, bright and full of nervous energy, it delivers good fruit fleshiness and a crisp acidic endnote. It also shows beautiful mineral characteristics that are typical of the San Lorenzo vineyard. This Barbera shows the qualities for longer cellar aging. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022. “The Last of the Mohicans” is a moniker that, with a playful touch of self-irony, Maria Teresa Mascarello uses to describe her winemaking philosophy. One of the most legendary cases of daughter-succeeding-father in Barolo today, this petite woman has superseded the enormity of Bartolo’s vision. Thanks to her tenacity and steadfast, she has breathed new life into the concept of “traditional” Barolo from her tiny winery at the heart of the Barolo village. If this winemaking school is experiencing a renaissance today, this is in large part thanks to her. She may be the last of the Mohicans, but she has started a new tribe.
