Giuseppe Mascarello: wines and prices

About Giuseppe Mascarello

Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio, based in Monchiero, is one of the most uncompromising guardians of Barolo tradition. Its story is closely bound to Monprivato, a historic vineyard in Castiglione Falletto that the family acquired in the early twentieth century and has bottled separately as a cru since 1970. Mauro Mascarello, the driving force behind that decision, later selected a Nebbiolo Michet biotype within the vineyard, the source of the Riserva Cà d'Morissio, made only in the finest years. Today his son Giuseppe runs the estate in the same spirit: long, patient fermentations, extended macerations, ageing in large Slavonian oak casks and no concessions to fashion. Alongside Monprivato, the family farms parcels in crus such as Villero and Santo Stefano di Perno. Its Barolos are wines of transparency and finesse, with delicate fruit and silky tannins, able to evolve for decades and treasured by collectors worldwide.
