BAROLO 'MONPRIVATO' GIUSEPPE MASCARELLO 2017
“Monprivato” by Giuseppe Mascarello is a portrait of His Majesty the Barolo. Known for being the king of wines and the wine of kings, Barolo has become known throughout the world for its characteristics of absolute elegance and finesse. “Monprivato” follows the history of this noble nectar in an exemplary way, exalting it from every profile. It comes from one of the oldest and most representative Crus of the denomination, included by scholars among the 11 primary historical Crus. Wise and wonderful mix of tradition, passion, and earth, summarized in a bottle that bears the exceptional signature of Giuseppe Mascarello.

The Barolo “Monprivato” comes from the Cru of the same name, located in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto. The vineyard, owned by the Mascarello family, extends over an area of ​​6 hectares at an altitude of 280 meters above sea level. The soil is of Miocene origin dating back to the Helvetian era, defined by silty-clayey marl of good structure and rich in active limestone. The abundance of some particular elements in the soil and the exposure of the vineyards with a south-west orientation allow us to obtain grapes with enormous expressive potential in the wine, which will be recognizable for particular qualities of structure, aromatic finesse, gustatory persistence, elegance and ability to evolve. The harvest takes place manually around mid-October. Winemaking takes place following the traditional method, which involves a long phase of maceration of the must on the skins. The refinement takes place inside medium-capacity Slavonian oak barrels and lasts 30 months.

Giuseppe Mascarello “Monprivato” has a garnet red color, slightly orange on the edge. The bouquet, on the nose, opens into a complexity of red fruit, fresh flowers and a varied spicy trail. The sip is very elegant, finished by a velvety tannin and a fresh vein of great length. The body is full and intense. It ends with an austere and pleasant persistence, which refers to the land of the Langa.
