Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio is one of the most revered, staunchly traditionalist estates in Piedmont, with a family winemaking legacy dating back more than a century and a half. Renowned worldwide for their iconic Barolos, the family treats their everyday bottlings with the same uncompromising, classical care as their top-tier crus. This particular wine showcases Freisa, an ancient and increasingly rare ancestral Piedmontese grape variety that is a close genetic relative to Nebbiolo. The fruit is sourced entirely from the estate-owned Toetto vineyard, which was acquired by the family in 1987 and features limestone-marl soils planted to vines in 1989. Located in the prestigious village of Castiglione Falletto, this plot sits incredibly close to the estate's legendary Monprivato vineyard, allowing the rare Freisa grape to thrive in world-class terroir

Winemaking
Following strict traditional methods, the wine undergoes a floating-cap fermentation for 15 to 20 days and is subsequently matured for approximately 15 months in medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels (botti) before bottling.
