The Giuseppe Mascarello family has been making wine for over a century and a half, first as farmers managing the Manescoto estate in the village of La Mora for the Marchesa Giulia Colbert Falletti di Barolo, and then on their own property after the late 1800s. It was the winemaker Giuseppe Mascarello who started the family business in 1881 in the village of Monforte d'Alba, where he purchased a plot of land in the Pian della Polvere region. Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio is a prestigious Barolo producer in Piedmont, northwestern Italy. The company has been closely associated with the Monprivato vineyard, one of the so-called Barolo crus, since the 1920s, and the stand-alone Monprivato Barolo vineyard has become Giuseppe Mascarello's flagship wine since the 1920s.
