Barolo Monprivato 1996 - Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio

Tasting notes

"The 1996 Barolo Monprivato shows a darker, more brooding side of Monprivato, with suggestions of tobacco, leather, scorched earth, licorice, iron and cocoa on the nose and tightly wound layers of sweet dark fruit with a big, powerful personality. It is a formidably structured, youthful Barolo that will require at least a few more years for the tannins to integrate. This is one of the least evolved bottles of this wine I have had and I imagine it will still be a compelling wine at age 30. Mauro Mascarello believes 1996 to be the best vintage of the last 50 years."

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio is one of the most prestigious producers in the Barolo region, founded in 1881 and currently run by Giuseppe Mascarello, representing the fourth generation of the family. The estate is widely recognized for the quality of its wines, consistently receiving accolades from renowned guides such as Gambero Rosso (3 Bicchieri), Vino di Eccellenza (L’Espresso Vini d’Italia), and Slow Food (Vino Slow from Slowine).

The Barolo Monprivato, the estate's flagship wine, comes from a unique plot in Castiglione Falletto, benefiting from an ideal southwest-facing exposure. This wine is the epitome of elegance and complexity, offering aromas of ripe fruit, flowers, and spicy nuances that evolve with time.

The estate remains committed to traditional Barolo winemaking methods, with long maturation in oak barrels, but with a modern approach that allows each vintage to express the richness and depth of its terroir.
