Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 2014 DOCG 0.75l

Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 2014 DOCG 0.75l is a wine that embodies the most authentic tradition of the Mascarello house and, at the same time, the sophistication of a legendary cru in the Langhe: Monprivato, a vineyard located between Castiglione Falletto, which is distinguished by marly soils with a sandy component, sunny exposure, and a slow ripening of the Nebbiolo grapes that refines elegance and depth. The story of Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio is one of continuity, a family that has forged over time a philosophy based on respect for the terroir, the minimal use of modern interventions, and a focus on preserving the spontaneity of the must, entrusting the winemaking process to traditional practices and large barrels capable of guiding the aging process without imposing external molds. Mascarello's Monprivato stands out for its complexity and precision: a bouquet that opens with notes of violet and ripe cherry, accents of bitter orange peel, a subtle minerality, hints of licorice, black pepper, and a mineral touch reminiscent of its terroir. On the palate, the texture is silky yet structured, with broad tannins sculpted by a lively acidity that sustains a long finish, leaving behind traces of cocoa, tobacco, and fine spices. Monprivato occupies the pinnacle of the Mascarello range: an expression of the winery's utmost commitment to enhancing the quintessential Nebbiolo, capable of aging for decades in the bottle and pairing with rich, complex dishes or moments of thoughtful tasting. The 2014 vintage lends elegance and momentum without sacrificing power, creating a Barolo that invites a broad drinking window yet requires patience to reveal its full depth. Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 2014 therefore presents itself as a unique presence in the panorama of Barolo DOCG and as a concrete expression of the Piedmont terroir, aligned with the STELT positioning.
