Note di degustazione
A stunning, crystalline wine, the 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo will give readers a very good idea of what this vintage promises. The 2013 opens with the most alluring aromatics imaginable. Weightless and crystalline on the palate, Mascarello's Nebbiolo simply dazzles. A host of lavender, orange peel, white pepper and violet scents float across the palate, but it is the total package that impresses most. And the 2013 has it. All of it. Think of Nebbiolo as a village-level Burgundy from a great producer in a top vintage. Mascarello's Langhe Nebbiolo is mostly young-vine Cannubi fruit. Readers who can find it should not hesitate.

Nebbiolo fermented for 10 days on the skins. Aged for 10 months in large casks, and 12 months in bottle. From young vines. Lustrous crimson. Pure, sweet Nebbiolo nose with a cool edge to it. Playful and gripping on the palate. Lovely stuff. (WS)
The 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo is a gorgeous wine that offers a sneak peek of this excellent vintage. You might notice that Maria Teresa Mascarello lost her battle to spell Nebbiolo with one "b" as local tradition would dictate. No matter, the wine's beauty fully merits two capital Bs, if not more. This a delicate and feminine expression with pretty nuances of pressed flowers, roses and wild berries. Ethereal background notes of licorice and balsam herb also appear. The wine closes with crisp, but balanced acidity. Maria Teresa likens the 2013 vintage of Nebbiolo to the classic 2010 vintage.
An absolutely striking wine, Mascarello's 2013 Langhe Nebbiolo captures the crystalline beauty of this superb vintage. Lavender, mint, plum, rose petal and an array of balsamic notes add nuance on the lifted, crystalline finish in a weightless Langhe Nebbiolo endowed with real pedigree. I tasted the 2013 from tank about a week before it was released. The 2013 is pure Nebbiolo seduction. Readers who can find it should not hesitate. The Langhe Nebbiolo is made from 100% young-vine Cannubi fruit that sees a relatively short fermentation, with no maceration.
