Summary
Mascarello attributes its high quality to techniques used in the vineyard, including green harvesting, reducing yields, and giving meticulous care to discard any imperfect berries & bunches. While they are considered traditional in their winemaking approach, they do use the aid of modern technology, including a prototype fermenter, which reproduces a long fermentation in a controlled manner. They have owned land in the Monprivato vineyard since the early 20th Century, though it did not become a monopole property of Mascarello until 1991.
Style & Vinification Techniques
Considered very traditional in their winemaking, the Guiseppe Mascarello estate employs long maceration and fermentations as well as aging in large, Slavonian oak botti for just over 3 years. They bottle with no fining or filtration.
