History and identity: the Mascarello winery, a family business with deep roots in the heart of Piemonte, has built a reputation over time based on a restrained and rigorous style. Its work is guided by the desire to preserve the expression of the terroir, with meticulous care of the plots and an approach that favors moderate use of wood and aging that preserves the purity of the fruit.

Production philosophy: the approach is a synthesis of tradition and modernity. Hand harvesting, controlled fermentation at selected temperatures, and aging in large-format containers. The result is a Freisa that retains freshness and savoriness, offering complexity without losing its immediate drinkability.

Distinctive features: Toetto stands out for its defined aromatic texture, with notes of red fruit, violet, and a subtle spiciness that lingers on the palate. Compared with other interpretations of Freisa, it offers an elegant structure, delicate tannins, and a persistence that invites a second sip.

Sensory characteristics: the color is vivid ruby with garnet reflections; on the nose, sour cherry, ripe cherry, a hint of violet, and light pepper emerge. On the palate, it is balanced between acidity and softness, with medium body, breadth, and a long finish recalling red fruit and a subtle mineral note.

Role in the range: Toetto is part of a line of wines that tell the story of Freisa and the tradition of Piemonte with an eye toward the present, offering a wine with character yet accessible, designed to accompany convivial moments or focused tastings without becoming overly celebratory. In line with the STELT positioning.
