Description

The Giuseppe Mascarello winery is a reality with more history and tradition than the whole Langa. The winery was founded in 1881 by Giuseppe when he bought a plot of land in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba. In 1904 Maurizio, Giuseppe’s son, decided to buy the Monprivato vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, one of the most beautiful crus in the area, famous for giving very elegant wines but nevertheless with a great aging potential.
In this very vineyard some Barolo Nebbiolo cuttings were planted grafted with the rare michet clone, famous for giving more intense aromas and sweetness to Nebbioli. The same michet clone is still used for Barolo Monprivato and the Ca ‘d’ Morissio reserve. In the following years the production has expanded to Barbera and Dolcetto as well as to Nebbiolo and Barolo, but always grown in excellent vineyards with the best exposures.
The style is always very classic, with the exclusive use of only large Slavonian oak barrels for refinements and minimal intervention in the vineyard with treatments and very low yields (about 60 – 65 quintals of grapes per hectare).
