The estate's reputation was built on some of Barolo’s most iconic vineyards, yet the Santo Stefano di Perno Dolcetto remains one of the hidden gems of the cellar. Drawn from the historic slopes of Perno in Monforte d'Alba, this is Dolcetto treated with the same care, precision and respect for site that have made Mascarello a reference point in the Langhe for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanto Stefano is a remarkable vineyard, better known today for producing serious Barolo, but it also happens to be one of the finest homes for Dolcetto. The old vines here deliver fruit with an extra dimension of depth and complexity, while traditional élevage in concrete preserves the vineyard’s character without any distraction from oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 is wonderfully expressive from the first pour. Dark cherries, wild blackberries and violets leap from the glass, followed by hints of dried herbs and earthy spice. The palate is vibrant and full of energy, with plenty of juicy fruit wrapped around fine tannins and Dolcetto’s signature savoury edge.

At Giuseppe Mascarello, that assumption quickly falls apart. The Scudetto vineyard, tucked beneath the chapel of Santo Stefano in Perno, produces a Barbera of remarkable depth and seriousness, reflecting the same meticulous vineyard work and traditional philosophy that have made the estate one of Piedmont's benchmarks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 vintage is beautifully complete. Dark cherry, blackberry and plum fruit unfold alongside notes of wild flowers, dried herbs and subtle spice. There is plenty of richness, but what stands out most is the wine’s energy. The acidity carries the fruit effortlessly across the palate, creating a wine that feels both powerful and incredibly fresh. Time spent in large oak casks and concrete adds texture without masking the character of the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not Barbera made for simple refreshment. It is a wine of place and structure, offering layers of fruit, savoury complexity and a long mineral finish that keeps drawing you back to the glass.
