2021 Giuseppe Mascarello Langhe Toetto Freisa

Color: deep ruby-red. Nose: varietal, spicy. 

Taste: dry, characteristic, good body with a lot of tannins

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.

The Toetto vineyard has been in the Mascarello family since 1987.
