Vintages
There is much to discover within each of the five
primary communes of Barolo as well as the zone
of Barolo itself and each vineyard situated in
the Langhe hills. Single-vineyard bottlings (or
cru), introduced by the esteemed Renato Ratti,
Beppe Colla, and the Ceretto brothers over 30 years
ago, have had a profound impact on the Barolo landscape.
However, the archetype of Barolo is not a single-vineyard
wine. Rather, this honor belongs to a cuvée
from Bartolo Mascarello—the icon of tradition
and master of classic Barolo. Similar examples of
traditional cuvées are produced by Bruno
Giacosa and Borgogno.
Barolo’s story has been further enhanced
with rare panache, due to consecutive vintages
that yielded fruit of exceptional quality. This
special period in Piemonte’s wine history—spanning
1996 through 2001—ordained weather that sanctioned
the delivery of wines collectively evoking the
breadth of Piemonte’s terroir and communes,
as well as the stylistic range authored by its
producers.
The selected bottlings serve as some of the most
eligible ambassadors of their respective years,
the the case includes the single vintage gems of
1985 and 1990.
