THE WINERY – GIUSEPPE MASCARELLO
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.
BARBERA D’ALBA SCUDETTO
“Scudetto” is an intense and very typical Barbera d’Alba of the prestigious collection of Giuseppe Mascarello, which expresses in every sip the elegance of the territory of the Langhe.
- Vineyard: Scudetto is downside the Chapel of Santo Stefano of Perno, in the commune of Monforte d’Alba (CN)
- Wine-making process: Traditional-style, floating cap fermentation of estate-grown grapes for 15/20 days. The wine is then matured in medium-sized oak barrels for few months or sometimes stabilized in inert tank.
- Tasting notes:
Colour: deep ruby-red, tending to purplish;
Nose: the nose looks like a walk in the woods: baskets of wild berries, elements of the undergrowth, earth and woody spices meet on a complex and balanced body, with good freshness and great expressiveness.
Taste: powerful stuffing and excellent body, well-balanced, varietal character. - Pairings: Red and white meats, fresh and mature cheeses, cold cuts, pasta dishes.
