Maffrei – Langhe Dolcetto – 2025
A tribute to the Langa region and a tribute to the grandfather from whom they inherited the Dolcetto vineyard, honoring tradition. These few rows are located in the municipality of Diano d’Alba, an area that has always been ideally suited to this grape variety thanks to its elevation and clay soils, which bring out its characteristics just as they do in Dogliani. With a tiny production run and a modern interpretation, fermentation takes place over 10 days using 10% whole clusters, followed by aging in concrete tanks. A wine for any moment and occasion—fun and enjoyable, with hints of red fruit and flowers, a soft palate, and fresh acidity.

Description
For the past few years, a breath of fresh air has been sweeping through the Langhe—a wave of innovation and new ideas, with young producers putting themselves to the test and carving out their own niche among the greats with bottles of exceptional quality. The Maffrei winery was founded in La Morra in 2021 by brothers Andrea and Stefano Mascarello, two young men who grew up in the world of wine thanks to their family—the historic founders of the Michele Mascarello winery—but who were determined to forge their own independent path. Without forgetting their roots, they have established their identity as avant-garde winemakers, producing wines that reflect their terroir while adopting an approach that speaks an international language. As advocates of Nebbiolo, they inherited vineyards in La Morra, primarily in the Serradenari and Torriglione areas, where they also cultivate Dolcetto, Pelaverga, and Chardonnay, with annual production totaling around 10,000 bottles. They manage less than 4 hectares, tended with care, and in the cellar, winemaking follows traditional methods with excellent use of oak for aging. An artisanal approach and a tribute to this new brotherly venture by the Mascarello brothers—known as “Ma-Frei” in the Piedmontese dialect.
