WINE ADVOCATE 94 POINTS - "The Mascarello family has recently doubled its vineyard holdings in Perno, Monforte d'Alba. We will see that new fruit on line in 2027. The Giuseppe Mascarello 2020 Barolo Perno Vigna Santo Stefano reveals a delicate and soft entry with generous fruit, sweet cherry and mild tannins. The wine offers a combination of mature fruit tones and spiciness that comes from higher elevations at 300 meters above sea level, where nighttime temperatures are cooler. The wine excels in length and silkiness."
This historically important producer helped to show the exceptional levels that the Barolo region and the Nebbiolo grape can reach. Today their style is neo-classical: wines that are more approachable earlier, especially in vitnages like 2018. This bottling is from the Santo Stefano di Perno vineyard in Monforte d'Alba.
"Estate-grown bunches, thinned during the summer, undergo traditional-style, floating cap fermentation for 15-20 days with selected yeast. The wine is then matured in medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels for around 30 months." - WINERY NOTES
