Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio winery
Since time immemorial Nebbiolo has been the most highly-prized vine and the wine-growing emblem of Alba and the Langa, and when it is matched with a great wine-making terroir it is capable of expressing itself at sublime levels in wines of remarkable personality, intense bouquet, great smooth tannins, and outstanding possibilities of evolution and resistance over time. The members of the Giuseppe Mascarello family have been growing wines for more than a century and a half, first as farmers running the Manescotto estate in the village of La Morra for the Marchesa Giulia Colbert Faletti di Barolo, and then on their own property since the late 1800s. The Mascarello family property extends over 15 hectares of vineyards, all located within the Barolo wine-growing area. The area of Boralo and the two valleys: The valley of Barolo and the valley of Serralunga; The fine wines are grown on the Giuseppe Mascarello farm include alongside Barolo Monprivato the following Barolos: Bricco, Villero, and Codana from vineyards in Castiglione Falletto, and Santo Stefano di Perno from vineyards in Monforte d Alba. The range is completed by three Barbera d Alba crus: Codana, Santo Stefano di Perno and Santo Stefano Scudetto; Dolcetto d Alba Bricco and Dolcetto d Alba Santo Stefano; Freisa Langhe Toretto, Nebbiolo Langhe, Nebbiolo d Alba San Rocco, and Langhe Rosso. The grapes from every single vineyard are vinified separately, a procedure that allows for the making of wines of the highest quality and with their own particular properties. The name of the vineyard and the village where it is located are given on the label of each wine.
