From one of the most revered and iconic estates in all of Barolo, the 2020 Giuseppe Mascarello “Monprivato” is a stunning, albeit incredibly youthful, expression of this legendary cru. From a warm and generous vintage, this wine showcases the masterful touch of a staunchly traditionalist family. The nose is wonderfully aromatic and pure, with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal, woven with hints of licorice, anise, and a distinct, chalky minerality. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and graceful, with a core of pristine red fruit framed by firm, incredibly fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is exceptionally long and resonant. A benchmark, contemplative Barolo with profound elegance and decades of aging potential.
