Bartolo Mascarello
Bartolo Mascarello is one of the most revered names in Barolo — a small, old-school family winery that blends grapes from several top vineyards into one single wine rather than chasing fashionable single-vineyard releases. They never changed their methods to follow trends, which is exactly why collectors obsess over them.
