96 points - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, June 2017

Bartolo Mascarello's 2013 Barolo is made with the estate's traditional blend of vineyard sites. This includes the San Lorenzo cru that will go offline starting with the 2015 vintage. This is a classic and traditional interpretation of Nebbiolo with an absolutely pristine and polished flavor profile. The bouquet opens to pressed violet, cassis, licorice, wild sage and cola. There is an elegant mineral imprint as well with rusty iron and iodine. This edition is evermore solid and centered compared to the warmer 2012 vintage. It will also require extra bottle aging in order to bring out its natural, but nuanced intensity.

Maria Teresa Mascarello has finished replanting her 4,000-square-meter parcel in the San Lorenzo vineyard. She had left the land to rest for two years after the old vines were ripped out. That means the traditional blend of sites used to make her Barolo—Canubbi, San Lorenzo, Rue and Rocche di La Morra—has been temporarily halted. Starting with the 2015 vintage (while San Lorenzo is offline), the new blend of sites will be Canubbi, Rue, Rocche dell'Annunziata and Moro di Bussia. The San Lorenzo fruit will return (in part) by the 2020 vintage.

OUR STORY

FOUNDERS AND BACKGROUND

Founders Marco Prete and Cristina Fragni have spent a lifetime in close contact with the top European winemakers and cellar masters, and have spent decades on their shared passion for learning, tasting, and even assisting in the production of fine wines.


After relocating to NYC in 2013, they found that many of their favorite vintages were not available in the US. Inspired by a lack of available inventory on the usual channels, they decided that it was essential to them personally and professionally to create a bespoke, world-class collection of fine wines available for US import.


The Wines of Kings collection of exquisite wines reflects the founders’ obsession with premium wines that are made authentically.
