Giuseppe Mascarello is one of the most recognized and famous names in the Barolo region. The ‘Monprivato’ vineyards are the jewel in the Mascarello crown, a 7 hectare plot in the village of Castiglione Falleto, The wines that come from the Monprivato vineyard are aromatic, energetic and complex. After a wonderful visit with Elena Mascarello at the winery last year, we have seen our allocation increase from 6 bottles up to 36 bottles per year. Do not miss the chance to have these wines in your cellar.
95 points (RP) – The Giuseppe Mascarello 2018 Barolo Monprivato reveals an open and accessible personality. This wine is an immediate charmer. I tasted these wines with the Mascarello family seated across the table from me, and during our chat, they explained that this was a gratifying vintage in terms of farming and winemaking. The growing season was not too hot, and high alcohol levels were not an issue, they say. In the case of this wine, we are greeted to mild tannins and a pretty bouquet with delicate floral notes, smoke and tar.
