The Giuseppe Mascarello 2018 Barbera d'Alba Scudetto comes from a slightly cooler vintage that was not always easy on this heat-seeking grape variety. This expression definitely shows extra freshness and classic, or rather subdued, lines with tart cherry and black fruits. Its structure is not as emphatic or constructed as we have seen in other vintages of the recent past; however, the wine has the snappy freshness to pair with a cheese or cream-based pasta dish.

Aged for seven months in large oak casks. Violet crimson. Savoury and salty on the nose and with bags of minerally notes. Succulent, lively cherry and blackberry fruit and persistent, velvety tannins. Long, finely balanced while carrying its 15% with grace. (WS)
