About the Winery:
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 1881. The Mascarello family property extends over 15 hectares of vineyards, all located within the Barolo wine-growing area. Some, like the MONPRIVATO vineyard, can now be said to be a part of the family history, while the grapes grown on others were first purchased by 4th generation Mauro before–having had the opportunity to ascertain their quality–he managed to buy the vineyards for the estate. The grapes from each single vineyard are vinified separately, a procedure that allows for the making of wines of the highest quality and with their own particular properties, varying from vineyard to vineyard. The name of the vineyard and the village where it is located are given on the label of each wine.
About the Wine:
With vines perched on Santo Stefano hill in the village of Monforte d’Alba, the grapes are harvested in the beginning of October, then vinified traditionally followed by ageing in medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels for around 6-8 months. When poured, expect garnet red hues with purplish highlights to shine through the glass. On the nose anticipate intense, fruity aromas of ripe grapes. The wine has an impressively round mouthfeel with well-balanced tannins and beautiful structure. Perfect to accompany Hors d'oeuvres as well as entrees of red meats.
