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. In 1904, Maurizio, Giuseppe's son, bought a farmhouse in "MONPRIVATO" in the commune of Castiglione Falletto, transferring his business there and producing Barolo from the vineyard owned by MONPRIVATO. In 1923, on Maurizio's death, his son Giuseppe took over the running of the business, and in the first half of the 1930s he decided to give up his job and devote himself entirely to winemaking. Today the company has been managed for about 60 years by Mauro Mascarello, his wife and two sons, who carry on a work based on precision, research and tradition. It was Mauro himself to be one of the first to produce Barolo from a single vineyard. The winery extends on different vineyards for a total of 13 hectares: from the historical Monprivato vineyard, located in Castiglione Falletto and owned by the Mascarello family since 1904, to the vineyards acquired more recently. Among the producers in Langa, Giuseppe Mascarello is undoubtedly the one who produces the most elegant Barolo with character, unique and recognizable.
