Score 89/100 · Drink 2017-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2017
The 2014 Barbera d'Alba is brilliant. Mid-weight, focused and nuanced, Mascarello's Barbera is terrific for the vintage. Bright red cherry, cranberry, rose petal, chalk and mint give the 2014 its aromatic top notes. The 2014 is a precise, slightly compact wine that shows all the tension of the vintage. Brisk, saline notes extend the finish beautifully. Sadly, yields were down 30% because of poor conditions during the summer. All things considered, this is a strong effort.
