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.
2003: “Mascarello’s 2003 Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno is superb. It presents gorgeous aromatics along with the essence of dried roses, dried cherries, herbs and spices. Made in a surprisingly seamless style, it possesses an open, forthcoming personality, outstanding length and polished tannins. The big question is whether it will shut down in the bottle. For now it remains sweet, harmonious and impossible to resist, even if it doesn’t give the impression of being especially long-lived.” – Antonio Galloni, October 30th, 2007
2007: “The 2007 Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno rarely gets mentioned in a discussion of this great property but several recent vintages have been outstanding, which is the case with the 2007 as well. Sweet dark cherries, menthol, pine, minerals and flowers are some of the notes that flesh out in the glass. The 2007 is a striking Santo Stefano di Perno loaded with site specific detail but with an extra layer of richness that is the signature of the year. Clean, mineral notes frame the energetic, vibrant finish. This is every bit as fabulous as it was from barrel.” – Antonio Galloni, October 30th, 2011
2009: “This stunning wine seamlessly weaves together sensations of creamy red cherry, crushed raspberry, tilled soil, leather and aromatic herbs. Notes of white pepper, cinnamon, licorice and clove add depth to the succulent fruit flavors. It’s already delicious but hold for more complexity.” – Kerin O’Keefe, November 1st, 2014
