An absolute CULT wine from Italy is the classic Barolo Monprivato by Guiseppe Mascarello. Not easy to find. Demand is greater than supply, so prices are rising year after year. To drink or as an investment. Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio is certainly one of the best producers of Barolo. The family business dates back to 1881 & to Monforte d'Alba. Maurizio (Morissio) bought the Castiglione Falletto Monprivato vineyard in 1904 and planted it with the Nebbiolo Michèt clone, before moving the winery to Monchiero in 1919. Son Giuseppe took over the company in 1923 and left the other family business of building materials to concentrate on wine. His son Mauro has been refining the estate since 1967, notably reducing yields, introducing a sorting table to ensure perfect bunches, and marketing Monprivato as a single vineyard wine from 1970. Since 1996 he has been joined by his son Giuseppe, a wine technician. Mauro's wife Maria Teresa manages the books. The Nebbiolo vineyard for the icon of Mascarello - the Barolo Monprivato, is located in the Grandcru area of Monprivato, in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto (CN). Harvest is around mid-October. The Nebbiolo grapes receive a traditional fermentation of approx. 20/26 days. Subsequently, the wine matures for about 30 months in Slavonian oak barrels and the wine is always only released after a minimum of four years after the harvest.

The Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato is a beautiful wine that brims with energy, depth and electricity. This is a naturally very complex and complete wine. The wine has a beautiful garnet red with orange reflections. This Monprivato is fine and sensual with soft berry notes that transition to flowers, candied orange peel, fresh mint and forest floor and rust. The tannins and structure of the wine provide enormous stamina. All bottles are numbered.

The 2017 vintage has received 97/100 points from Falstaff and

Vineyard for 2017 Mascarello Giuseppe e Figlio Barolo Monprivato

Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio geldt zeker als een van de beste producenten van Barolo. Het familiebedrijf dateert uit 1881 & naar Monforte d'Alba. Maurizio (Morissio) kocht de Castiglione Falletto Monprivato-wijngaard in 1904 en plantte deze met de Nebbiolo Michèt-kloon, voordat hij de wijnmakerij in 1919 naar Monchiero verhuisde. Zoon Giuseppe nam het bedrijf in 1923 over en verliet het andere familiebedrijf van bouwmaterialen om zich op wijn te concentreren. Zijn zoon Mauro is sinds 1967 bezig met het verfijnen van het landgoed, met name door de opbrengsten te verlagen, een sorteertafel in te voeren om perfecte trossen te garanderen, en door Monprivato vanaf 1970 op de markt te brengen als een enkele wijngaardwijn. Sinds 1996 krijgt hij gezelschap van zijn zoon Giuseppe , een wijntechnicus. Mauro's vrouw Maria Teresa beheert de boeken.

Terwijl het landgoed van 12 ha wordt gedomineerd door wijngaarden in de gemeente Castigilione Falletto, met name Monprivato op 6,20 ha, kocht Mauro in 1989 Santo Stefano, een enkele ijzerrijke wijngaard in het Perno-gehucht Monforte d'Alba. Alle wijnen worden traditioneel gemaakt met behulp van een combinatie van met epoxy bekleed cement en roestvrijstalen cuves, voordat ze worden gerijpt in grote Slavonische vaten; het vastleggen van de volledige expressie van de wijngaarden
