This breathtaking 2018 release from a legendary Piedmontese dynasty captures the soul of classical winemaking with mesmerizing precision. Eschewing flashy modern wood adjustments, it remains a fiercely authentic, low-intervention masterpiece that favors intellectual detail and transparency of terroir over sheer muscle.
In the glass, it reveals a translucent, shimmering garnet-brick core. The bouquet is highly articulate and ever-evolving, slowly unfurling a tapestry of dried red rose petals, sour cherries, and wild cranberries, underscored by complex notes of orange peel, tar, pipe tobacco, and damp forest floor. On the palate, it exhibits stunning architectural poise; it is deceptively weightless yet intensely concentrated, driving layers of crunchy pomegranate and savory herbs through a massive matrix of chalky, fine-grained Nebbiolo tannins. 
 A true collector’s wine built to evolve for decades

True to the estate's unyielding orthodox philosophy, the grapes undergo an extended, natural fermentation with native yeasts in temperature-regulated concrete vats, lasting an incredible 20 to 25 days. The wine is then aged slowly for up to 36 months in large, inert Slavonian oak casks (botti). This patient, traditional wood regime coaxes out Nebbiolo’s innate velvety texture and aromatic complexity without imparting any dominant vanilla or toast flavors. It is bottled completely unfined and unfiltered.

Crafted under the uncompromising eye of Mauro Mascarello, who continues his family’s multi-generational legacy of pure traditionalism. The fruit is exclusively sourced from the famed Villero Cru—a prestigious single-vineyard site in Castiglione Falletto sitting at 280 meters elevation. The vines are deeply rooted in compact clay-marl and limestone-sand soils that impart immense structure and savory, balsamic complexity to the grapes.
