Tasting Notes
Giuseppe e Figlio Mascarello produce one of the most serious Barbera you've ever seen. This wine is not to be taken lightly. People often talk of Barbera as a high acid, low tannin variety. The Mascarello's not only put that theory to the test, they obliterate it. This Barbera is dense and powerful, tannic and bold. It needs time, either in a decanter or in the cellar. I absolutely adore what this producer does and I hope you do too. Brilliant. - Chris L
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. 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 Mauro before ‚– having had the opportunity to ascertain their quality ‚– he managed to buy the vineyards for the estate. - Winery Note
