Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio
Giuseppe Mascarello is a revered winery located in the Piedmont region of Italy, specifically in the commune of Monforte d'Alba. Established in the late 19th century by Giuseppe Mascarello, the estate has remained a family-owned operation dedicated to crafting exceptional Barolo wines that epitomize the character and terroir of the Barolo region.
The vineyards of Giuseppe Mascarello are primarily situated in Monforte d'Alba, encompassing prestigious sites like Monprivato and Villero. These vineyards benefit from calcareous clay soils and a favorable microclimate, ideal for cultivating high-quality Nebbiolo grapes. The estate practices traditional winemaking methods, including extended maceration and aging in large Slavonian oak casks. Minimal intervention in the cellar allows the grapes' true expression and terroir to shine through in the wines.
Giuseppe Mascarello's flagship wine is Barolo, crafted predominantly from Nebbiolo grapes sourced from their esteemed vineyards. They also produce single vineyard Barolos, such as Monprivato and Villero, which highlight the unique characteristics of each terroir. Known for their elegance, complexity, and age-worthiness, Giuseppe Mascarello's Barolos typically exhibit flavors of red berries, roses, tar, and earthy notes, complemented by structured tannins and balanced acidity.
