Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

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.

• Historic producer of Monprivato, one of Barolo’s most prized crus
• Mauro Mascarello is one of the last of the old guard of traditional producers who paved the way for the current generation
• Beginning with the 1993 vintage, they have released a special Riserva from the Ca’ d’Morissio parcel — the sweet spot of the Monprivato cru in Castiglione Falletto
• Produces great Freisa and Barbera as well as Barolo from Monprivato, Villero and Santo Stefano di Perno
