Lot #1068. Cantina (Bartolo) Mascarello Barolo Riserva Cannubi 1958

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Piedmont, Barolo.
Score: 97 NM.
"The 1958 Barolo Cannubi from Cantina Mascarello is among the greatest Piedmont bottles I have ever tasted. As Antonio Galloni mentioned in his Vinous note on the 1955, the label is spelled "Canubbi." The heavenly bouquet of maraschino cherries, peony, peppermint and crushed strawberry envelops the senses. The palate is built around a superb frame of tannins, the layers of dark berry fruit, black olive and blueberry leading to a powerful, multidimensional but utterly refined finish that takes your breath away. This just felt so... alive. I understand why wine lovers are besotted by old Barolo!" Vinous, Apr 2019
Notes: 3.5cm, bin soiled, damp stained, lightly faded, lightly scuffed labels.
