What is this wine?

Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio is one of Barolo’s great traditional estates, with roots going back to the 19th century. Their most prized vineyard is Monprivato in Castiglione Falletto, considered one of Barolo’s grand crus. From a tiny parcel at its heart, planted with the rare Michét clone of Nebbiolo, they produce the legendary Ca d’Morissio Riserva. Made only in top vintages, it is released after extended cask and bottle aging. The 1995 was the inaugural vintage of this cuvée, making it a historic bottling.

Why get this wine?

Ca d’Morissio is produced in vanishingly small quantities and is among the most collectible and long-lived Barolos. The 1995 not only marks the first release of this flagship wine but also showcases Mascarello’s hallmark style: profound Nebbiolo of purity, structure, and terroir expression. With nearly 30 years of bottle age, this is a rare opportunity to experience a fully mature Barolo from one of Piedmont’s most iconic producers.

What does this wine taste like?

Evolved yet vibrant, with aromas of dried cherry, rose petal, leather, tobacco, and truffle. The palate is elegant and complex, showing silky tannins, savory depth, and a long, earthy finish.

When should you drink this wine?

This bottle is at peak maturity now but will hold gracefully for another decade. Ideal for a special occasion, paired with braised meats, aged cheeses, or simply enjoyed contemplatively on its own.

Visiting Cantina Giuseppe Mascarello & Figli is in some ways a bit like traveling back in time: the winery is full of ancient, enormous botti, and though the largest casks are no longer in use, the family traditions still reign. Fermentations are slow, in concrete and steel; aging is long, in large oak botti ranging from 20 to 70 years of age. There are no tricks to doll the wines up. Farming decisions are made with an eye not only to the current vintage, but to future generations of Mascarellos. However visiting Mascarello isn’t just stepping into the past: a visit is being welcomed into a space where you can feel the profound connection between the present and what has come before, the thread that ties today’s Piedmont to its rich and wonderful history. Elena and her brother, Giuseppe, are the latest Mascarellos to carry the thread forward, and they're doing it beautifully, which shows in the wines. The family has some of Piedmont's greatest terroirs, including Monprivato (often called “the Musigny of Barolo”). They do what they need to do to allow those terroirs to shine year after year, in each new vintage’s unique voice.
