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 estate and, at the same time, the refinement of a legendary cru in the Langhe: Monprivato, a vineyard located near Castiglione Falletto, distinguished by marl soils with a sandy component, sunny exposure, and the slow ripening of Nebbiolo grapes, which enhances elegance and depth. The history of Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio is one of continuity: a family that has shaped a philosophy over time based on respect for the terroir, minimal use of modern intervention, and careful preservation of the must’s spontaneity, entrusting winemaking to traditional practices and large casks capable of guiding ageing without imposing external influences. Mascarello’s Monprivato stands out for its complexity and precision: the bouquet opens with notes of violet and ripe cherry, hints of bitter orange zest, subtle minerality, notes of liquorice and black pepper, and a mineral touch reminiscent of its native soil; on the palate, the texture is silky despite its structure, while broad tannins are shaped by lively acidity that supports a long finish, leaving traces of cocoa, tobacco, and fine spices. Within the Mascarello range, Monprivato occupies the highest position: an expression of the winery’s utmost commitment to showcasing the quintessence of Nebbiolo, capable of evolving for decades in bottle and accompanying rich, complex dishes or moments of thoughtful tasting. The 2014 vintage lends elegance and energy without sacrificing power, creating a Barolo that offers a broad drinking window but requires patience to reveal its full depth; Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 2014 thus presents itself as a unique presence in the world of Barolo DOCG and as a genuine expression of Piedmontese terroir, aligned with the STELT positioning.
