Grapes: 100% Nebbiolo

This pinnacle of wine making from Barolo royalty is one for collectors!

At Mascarello, patience is not a virtue — it’s a way of life. The “Ca’ d’Morissio” bottling, released only in exceptional vintages, is the culmination of a century of devotion to a single slope and a single grape. The 2013 shows the quiet confidence of great Barolo: powerful yet transparent, deep yet restrained.

Fermented gently and given years of slow aging in large, neutral casks, this wine carries both lineage and lift. Aromas of rose petal, dried cherry, and warm spice rise from the glass before unfolding into deeper tones of tobacco leaf, truffle, and crushed stone. The palate is long and graceful — fine tannins etched around red fruit, earth, and savory mineral notes that stretch through a seemingly endless finish.

This is Barolo not for the impatient, but for those who understand time as an ingredient. It’s wine as a story — measured, intricate, and profoundly alive.
