Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo ‘Monprivato’ 2018

If you ask most Piedmontese growers which vineyard they would buy, money no object, the response is invariably Monprivato. A south west facing vineyard situated at 280 metres above sea level just below the town of Castiglione Falletto. This together with gentle, traditional winemaking result in ethereal, nuanced wines of great ageing potential. 

“The 2018 Barolo Monprivato is gorgeous. Aromatic and gracious, the 2018 is silky, expressive and very nicely balanced. Translucent,  layered and ethereal, as Monprivato is these days, the tannins are impeccably balanced and all the elements are beautifully put together. Crushed red berry fruit, cinnamon, spice, dried flowers and orange peel lend nuance throughout.” 94 points, Vinous
