Mascarello Santo Stefano Barolo 2020 – Piedmont, Italy
by Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio
A revered cru from Castiglione Falletto, Santo Stefano 2020 is a classical, terroir-driven expression of Nebbiolo crafted by one of Barolo’s most respected traditional estates. The Mascarello family’s approach — long macerations and ageing in large Slavonian oak botti — preserves purity, structure, and the unmistakable perfume of great Barolo.
Elegant, precise, and built to age.
The Santo Stefano vineyard is known for producing Barolo of aromatic lift and refined structure.
The 2020 vintage in Barolo delivered balance and clarity — ripe yet vibrant fruit, fine tannins, and excellent harmony.
Traditional winemaking allows the cru character to shine without heavy oak influence.
