2015 Giuseppe Mascarello Barbera Scudetto

Since the 2014 vintage, this wine is no longer labeled as Superiore. The 2015 Barbera d`Alba Scudetto had just been bottled when I tasted my sample, but the sheer richness and exuberance of the fruit was nevertheless on full display. Barbera performed very nicely in this warm vintage, delivering opulent and generous black fruit aromas. This Barbera is rich in volume and texture as well. This wine, along with the Langhe Freisa Toetto and Langhe Nebbiolo, was released in late May 2018. 92 points
