ABOUT THIS WINE
Barolo production blends grapes from four vineyards, co-fermented in large concrete tanks. While the tanks lack internal temperature control, temperatures are carefully monitored and cooled if needed. Indigenous yeasts drive fermentation, with pump-overs twice daily and occasional yeast additions. Maceration lasts 30–50 days, adjusted annually based on vintage character. A gentle hydraulic basket press is used.
The wine then ages for about 30 months in Slavonian oak casks (25–50 hL) in a natural cellar, undergoing spontaneous malolactic fermentation. It is racked once a year and bottled in late July, three years after harvest. Bottles are cellared for another year, with release in the fourth year post-vintage.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Rooted in the 19th century, the estate has passed through four generations of the Mascarello family, with Maria Teresa now at the helm. The wines are classic expressions of Nebbiolo—elegant, structured, and built for long aging—reflecting both heritage and finesse.
