GIUSEPPE MASCARELLO Barolo Riserva Monprivato Ca’ d’Morissio 2012

GIUSEPPE MASCARELLO

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.

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.
