Description

Mascarello is a renowned wine producer located in the heart of the Piedmont region in Italy. With a rich history dating back several generations, Mascarello has established itself as one of the premier producers of Barolo wines, particularly their esteemed Barolo Monprivato.

The story of Mascarello begins in the late 19th century when the family patriarch, Bartolo Mascarello, first started cultivating vineyards in the village of Monforte d'Alba. Bartolo's passion for winemaking was passed down to his son, Giulio, who continued the family tradition and expanded the vineyards. Today, the Mascarello estate is run by Maria Teresa Mascarello, the granddaughter of Bartolo, who has upheld the family's commitment to producing exceptional wines.

The style of production at Mascarello is deeply rooted in tradition and respect for the land. The vineyards are meticulously cared for, with a focus on organic and sustainable practices. The grapes used to make their wines are exclusively sourced from the Monprivato vineyard, a single cru located in the commune of Castiglione Falletto. This vineyard is known for its unique microclimate and soil composition, which contribute to the distinct character of the wines produced by Mascarello.

The flagship wine of Mascarello is the Barolo Monprivato. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, this wine is a true expression of the terroir and the expertise of the winemakers. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted to ensure only the highest quality fruit is used. The fermentation process takes place in large oak casks, allowing for a slow and gentle extraction of flavors and tannins. The wine is then aged in traditional Slavonian oak barrels for several years before being bottled.

Barolo Monprivato is known for its elegance, complexity, and longevity. It exhibits a beautiful garnet color and offers aromas of ripe red fruits, roses, and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish. With proper cellaring, Barolo Monprivato can age gracefully for decades, developing additional layers of complexity and nuance.

In addition to their flagship Barolo Monprivato, Mascarello also produces other notable wines, including a Barbera d'Alba

Tasting notes

The Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato is a beautiful wine that is teeming with energy, depth and electricity. This is a naturally very complex and complete wine, thanks to the extraordinary conditions of this epic growing season.

The results are relatable and impactful, the fruit shows power, grace and lots of clearly recognised varietal purity. This edition of Monprivato is fine and sensual with soft berry tones that cede to blue flowers, candied orange peel, fresh mint and earthy rust.

The wine's tannins and structure build momentum and staying power. This wine is large in scope and impressive.
