Barbera from one of Barolo's most revered traditional estates. Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio was founded in 1881; Mauro Mascarello (fourth generation) works alongside his daughter Elena. The Scudetto vineyard ('shield,' for its shape) is in Monforte d'Alba. Same uncompromising approach as the Barolos: no French oak barrels or roto-fermenters, only old Slavonian oak botti purchased in the 1950s. If you want to taste Mascarello's philosophy without the Barolo price, start here.

"The 2022 Barbera d Alba Sudetto is a bold, juicy wine that doles out layers of succulent plum, fleshy black cherry, blue flower, baking spice and ground clove flavors. Velvety tannins provide polished support while a blood orange note lifts the finish. The great fruit richness stands up to the hefty alcohol content." —Kerin O'Keefe

More about Giuseppe Mascarello

Visiting Cantina Giuseppe Mascarello & Figli is in some ways a bit like traveling back in time: the winery is full of ancient, enormous botti, and though the largest casks are no longer in use, the family traditions still reign. Fermentations are slow, in concrete and steel; aging is long, in large oak botti ranging from 20 to 70 years of age. There are no tricks to doll the wines up. Farming decisions are made with an eye not only to the current vintage, but to future generations of Mascarellos.

However visiting Mascarello isn't just stepping into the past: a visit is being welcomed into a space where you can feel the profound connection between the present and what has come before, the thread that ties today’s Piedmont to its rich and wonderful history.

Elena and her brother, Giuseppe, are the latest Mascarellos to carry the thread forward, and they're doing it beautifully, which shows in the wines. The family has some of Piedmont's greatest terroirs, including Monprivato (often called “the Musigny of Barolo”). They do what they need to do to allow those terroirs to shine year after year, in each new vintage’s unique voice.
