The skilled tending of the vineyards, handling of the wine-making processes, and maturing of the wines in large Slavonian oak casks are an element of cultural continuity with the past, keeping faith with local tradition and the work of four generations of vine-growers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rosenthal\/Rare\/Élevage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51011141959986,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/3206\/7378\/files\/Untitled-9_844c7eb0-862c-4654-9d4e-38ff9701a93f.webp?v=1774653993","url":"https:\/\/slakesf.com\/products\/giuseppe-mascarello-toetto-2023-freisa-langhe-piemonte","provider":"SLAKE San Francisco Bottle \u0026 Sundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
