Description
What kind of wine it is
Langhe Freisa by Bartolo Mascarello is a red wine from Piedmont made from Freisa grapes. As part of the Langhe Freisa category, it expresses a fresh, pleasant and well-defined style. In the glass, it reveals a ruby red colour, introducing clear aromas of forest fruits intertwined with refined balsamic notes. The long ageing in wood allows for a balanced sip, while preserving the natural elegance of the grape variety.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the renowned Langhe area in Piedmont, thanks to the work of Bartolo Mascarello, a historic name based in Barolo. The family-run estate manages its own vineyards by applying strict natural cultivation principles. The various plots, which include parcels in historic areas such as Cannubi, Ruè, San Lorenzo and Rocche dell’Annunziata, are carefully tended to provide an authentic portrait of the region.
How it is produced
The vinification of Freisa involves prolonged maceration to extract colour and structure. Maturation in large oak barrels encourages an evolution that ensures its longevity over time. It is recommended to decant for one hour before serving at an ideal temperature between 16 and 18°C. Its elegant texture pairs perfectly with first courses with meat sauces, braised meats, game and mature cheeses.

In the 60s he took the reins of his son Bartolo, who with passion, professionalism and personality made a decisive turning point in production, remaining far from the French fashions. The historic and legendary cellar is now managed by the daughter of Bartolo, Maria Teresa Mascarello.
The company that represents Langarola tradition par excellence is located in the center of Barolo, where the cru Cannubi, Ruè and San Lorenzo, together with the Rocche dell'Annunziata in the municipality of La Morra, are cultivated in a natural way, vinified with long macerations and wise aging in large oak barrels and then bottled with a single label without indulging in the production of separate labels for each vineyard.
