1964 Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio Barolo

Some wines are more than wine, they are history. That was the case with our last two bottles. Mascarello's 1964 Barolo, which was made from Mauro Mascarello's father, Giuseppe, from a blend of vineyards, was as silky and polished as it has always been. Every time I taste this wine I wonder if making Barolo from multiple sites was such a bad idea after all. Sweet, perfumed and utterly impeccable, the 1964 was simply gorgeous on this night.
