Cru Perno is located in the eastern side of the commune of Monforte d’Alba, noted for having more compact and dark soils, giving wines more complexity. The Mascarello winery owns about one hectare in the best exposed part of the vineyard, the Santo Stefano sub-zone, with vines still planted with the old Nebbiolo clone “Michet”, renowned for yielding juicier wines, with primary aromas and sweeter tannins. The wine in this case was aged for 3 years in medium-large casks.

The Mascarello family has recently doubled its vineyard holdings in Perno, Monforte d'Alba. We will see that new fruit on line in 2027. The Giuseppe Mascarello 2020 Barolo Perno Vigna Santo Stefano reveals a delicate and soft entry with generous fruit, sweet cherry and mild tannins. The wine offers a combination of mature fruit tones and spiciness that comes from higher elevations at 300 meters above sea level, where nighttime temperatures are cooler. The wine excels in length and silkiness.  Drink 2026-2045
