About this Item
The Giuseppe Mascarello family have been growing and producing wines for more than a century and a half, first as farmers running the Manescotto estate in the village of La Morra for the marchesa Giulia Colbert Faletti di Barolo, and then on their own property since the late 1800s. The Mascarello property extends over 15 hectares of vineyards, all located within the Barolo appellation of Piedmont. Today, Mauro Mascarello, who has been winemaker since the late ‘60s, is the last remaining pioneer of the great Barolo generation that included Giovanni Conterno and Bartolo Mascarello. In 1970, Mauro was behind the creation of property’s famous, single-vineyard Barolo from the great Monprivato vineyard in 1970.
Critics Ratings
‘The 2007 Barolo Monprivato is stunningly beautiful. It is a rich, dramatic wine endowed with tons of fruit and a sweeping, enveloping personality. It is also primary and at the beginning of what is likely to be a long, long life. The 2007 is spectacular, but it is very, very young and in need of significant cellaring to shed some of its baby fat. Barolo lovers will not want to be without the 2007 Monprivato. It is a stratospheric Barolo in the making. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2037.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 97/100 (Oct 2011)
‘A pure, ethereal Barolo, boasting rose, cherry and strawberry aromas and flavors, with a touch of tar. Very harmonious and elegant, with firm yet well-delineated tannins supporting the whole. Old-school and refined. Best from 2016 through 2035.’ - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 96/100 (Apr 2012)
