One of Barolo's great crus—Villero in Castiglione Falletto, bottled by Mascarello since 1978 from just over 0.5 hectares. Clayey-sandy, calcareous soils composed of grey marl, brown clay, and grey sand of marine origin produce a Barolo of different character than Monprivato: darker, more structured, with a broader frame. Traditional fermentation (20–25 days) in old botti, aged 36 months in Slavonian oak. Unfined and unfiltered. Among the three greatest monopole crus of Barolo.

"The elegant 2021 Giuseppe Mascarello Villero is a classic Barolo, with aromas of wild rose, forest berry, vineyard sand and dark spice. Still rather austere at this stage, the palate offers ripe cherry, star anise, and blood orange alongside fresh acidity. Taut, well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance. Give this time to fully unwind. Drink 2031-2041." —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.
