Mauro Mascarello first joined his father in the cellar for many years, then in 1967 he took over the responsibility of running the winery of Monchiero. From vintage 1968 to vintage 1977, he has experienced several vinification systems, long or short, with varying intensity of pressing and reassembly, with not always satisfactory results. Once the experimental cycle was over, it returned to traditional long vinification, but made substantial changes, such as reducing maceration times, from 60 to 40 days. Times further reduced to thirty days in the early eighties. In 1970 he began the vinification in the selection of the grapes coming from every single vineyard, first of all the Nebbiolo of the vineyard MONPRIVATO and then that of the other vineyards. In 1979, at the death of his uncle Natale, he bought his company, reuniting it in the farm Giuseppe Mascarello and son. In 1980 he assumed the direct responsibility of the MONPRIVATO vineyard family, continuing his leadership with unchanged philosophy, performing the techniques that have always been practiced to obtain the highest quality of "raw grapes" from every point of view.

The history of Giuseppe Mascarello began back in 1881, with the purchase of the first plot of land in Pian della Polvere. Now the vineyards range over various hills of the most suitable areas in the Barolo area, including the famous MONPRIVATO. Today the company is under the guidance of Mauro Mascarello, who since 1967 leads one of the family vineyards. The years from 1968 to 1977 are years of experimentation of various techniques, then returning to a more traditional vinification but with profound changes. In 1980 he assumed direct responsibility for the MONPRIVATO vineyard, continuing the family tradition with unchanged precision: ideal ripening of the grapes, perfectly healthy bunch, the search for maximum concentration in the grapes. To get the most out of it, the family has been investing in deep field work for decades, following the plant's development and intervening to the minimum with plant protection products and rejecting any herbicide and desiccant. Mascarello have always been artisans of wine, taking care of the vineyards, winemaking and refining with unchanged momentum, separating the fruits of each vineyard to enhance its individual characteristics. His wines are contended around the world, from the USA to Japan.
