History

Since time immemorial Nebbiolo has been the most highly-prized vine and the wine-growing emblem of Alba and the Langa, and when it is matched with a great wine-making terroir it is capable of expressing itself at sublime levels in wines of remarkable personality, intense bouquet, great smooth tannins, and outstanding possibilities of evolution and resistance over time.

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.

Vineyards

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.

THE AREA OF BAROLO and the two valleys: The valley of Barolo and the valley of Serralunga;
showing the prime wine-growing sites - in terms of soil composition, conformation, exposure and micro-climate - on the basis of proven historic importance and centuries-long traditions .

Inside information

The winery's outstanding results have been achieved by our family's application over decades of a series of rules and self-limits, including:

 

  • very short winter pruning - from six to nine buds, depending on the vigour of each single vine;
  • removal in spring of any less than perfect bunches;
  • summer thinning of the grapes that could compromise each plant's ability to ripen every bunch to perfection;
  • production of no more than 6-6.5 tons of grapes per hectare;
  • hand-picking, with grading and drastic cleaning performed in the vineyard, removing any imperfect grapes berry-by-berry.
