2013 Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 0,75lt
Elegant and fragrant, this radiant wine opens with classic Nebbiolo aromas of forest floor, crushed herb, dried rose, wild berry and a whiff of new leather. The focused, ethereal palate sneaks up on you, offering red cherry, spiced cranberry, wild strawberry and liquorice alongside firm, refined tannins. Bright acidity lends balance, energy and tension. It's still youthfully austere so give it time to develop even more complexity.
This vintage has received high acclaim, earning 97 points from both Wine Enthusiast, 95 points from both Wine Advocate and 96 points from Wine Spectator. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts alike, this Barolo exemplifies the depth and sophistication of its terroir.
Barolo Monprivato is the jewel in Mascarello’s crown. A single area, located in the village of Castiglione Falletto, of just under 7 hectares which straddles two geological eras resulting in a mixture of sand and pebble soils. The vineyard has a lovely southwest exposure and sits at just under 300 meters above sea level. It produces a wine which rewards long ageing and is amongst the very finest and complex in Barolo. Giuseppe Mascarello is one of Barolo’s greatest names. The family have been producing wine in the Langhe since 1881 and today the estate is run by Mauro's son Guiseppe and daughter, Elena.
