MASCARELLO
Damilano is one of the historical Barolo producing farms, founded over a century
ago by Guiseppe Borgogno, The tradition was kept up by his son-in-law Giacomo
Damilano and with his children, until it was passed on to his four grandchildren,
who very attentively manage their forefathers’ land today. The wines
are renowned for their upright style and the estate is widely appreciated due to
the strictness and passion that accompany all of the company’s activities. The
vineyards are situated in the most famous crus of the Langa region: Cannubi,
Liste, Fossati and Brunate, which are almost entirely cultivated with Nebbiolo da
Barolo.
The members of the Giuseppe Mascarello family have been growing wines for
more than 150 years in the prime Barolo region of Castiglione Falletto, including
the prestigious Monprivato area. They have built on years of family experience
to the present day Mauro Mascarello, who began in 1970 to vinify the
grapes grown on each single vineyard separately, starting with the Monprivato
Nebbiolo. In 1985, the efforts paid off with international recognition of the highest
order. The 1978 vintage Barolo emerged as the best wine in the Forum
Vinorum in London, with the only perfect score, and a ranking higher than not
only 27 other Italian DOC and DOCG reds, but also 56 Châteaux, Grand Cru
and Premier Cru producers, including such celebrated Château names as
Petrus, Margaux, Latour, Lafite, Mouton Rothschild and Haut-Brion. To this
day, the spectacular Barolos of Mascarello are highly decorated and well
sought after by top buyers around the world.
