Giuseppe Mascarello – Barolo Perno Vigna Santo Stefano – 2020

Cru Perno is located in the eastern side of the commune of Monforte d’Alba, it differs for having more compact and dark soils giving wines more complexity. The winery owns about one hectare in the best exposed part of the vineyard, in the Santo Stefano sub-zone with vines still planted with the old Nebbiolo clone “Michet”, renowned for giving juicier wines, with primary aromas and sweeter tannins. The wine in this case was aged for 3 years in medium-large casks. Rare to find, but the result is a less renowned wine, more niche but with drier tannins and a slightly more complex structure.

Description

Giuseppe Mascarello winery is one of the most historical and traditional wineries of the whole Langa. The winery was founded in 1881 by Giuseppe when he bought a piece of land in the commune of Monforte d’Alba. In 1904 Maurizio, Giuseppe’s son, decided to buy the Monprivato vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, one of the most beautiful cru of the area, famous for making very elegant wines and however with a great aging potential.
In this vineyard were planted some Nebbiolo for Barolo vines grafted with the rare michet clone, famous for giving nebbiolo wines more intense aromas and sweetness. Still now the same michet clone is used for Barolo Monprivato and the reserve Ca’ d’ Morissio. In the following years the production has been widened to Barbera and Dolcetto as well as Nebbiolo and Barolo, but always cultivated in excellent vineyards with the best exposition.
The style is always very classic, with the exclusive use of large Slavonian oak barrels for aging and minimal intervention in the vineyard with treatments and very low yields (about 60 – 65 quintals of grapes per hectare).
