Tasting Notes

Giuseppe Mascarello Monprivato Barolo 2019 exemplifies the pinnacle of Italian viticulture, hailing from the esteemed Monprivato vineyard in Piedmont’s Langhe region. This exceptional Barolo is crafted exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, renowned for producing wines with profound complexity, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. The 2019 vintage benefited from ideal climatic conditions, featuring warm days and cool nights that fostered optimal ripening and concentration of flavors.

On the nose, this Barolo reveals intense aromas of ripe red cherries, wild berries, and delicate rose petals, layered with subtle nuances of spice and earthy undertones. The palate is harmonious and structured, supported by polished tannins and vibrant acidity that balance the wine’s depth and finesse. This combination ensures both immediate pleasure and the capacity for graceful cellaring over many years.

Celebrated by critics, the 2019 Monprivato earned a prestigious 100 points from Kerin O'Keefe, underscoring its exceptional quality and meticulous craftsmanship. Sourced from a premium private cellar, this release highlights Mascarello’s signature style that honors the traditional character of Barolo while expressing the unique terroir of the Monprivato site.

As one of Italy’s most sought-after producers, Giuseppe Mascarello continues to set the standard for fine Barolo wines. This bottle represents a rare and collectible treasure for enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike, capturing the essence of Piedmont’s rich winemaking heritage and the artistry of a master vintner.

Critic Scores

Tasting Giuseppe Mascarello’s magnificent 2019 Monprivato stopped me in my tracks with its impeccable class, seemingly infinite energy and great balance between fruit, depth and finesse. Both fragrant and utterly delicious, it captivates with mesmerizing aromas of new leather, iris, spice and citrus while the full-bodied, racy palate boasts crunchy red cherry, juicy strawberry, black tea, and white pepper before closing on notes of star anise and salty mineral. An absolute stunner, this has it all.

Compared to the 2018, the 2019 Barolo Monprivato offers a more powerful nose with more nervous energy in its notes of licorice, raspberry liqueur, rosemary, and sweet earth. Ripe and powerfully structured, with a midweight feel but incredible intensity and length, it has a great level of completeness, with an earthy drive and ripe tannins that hold through its long finish.

This pure and stylish Barolo features rose, strawberry, cherry, mineral and underbrush aromas and flavors. Though silky in texture, this is well-structured, with integrated tannins and harmony. This is all about finesse and texture, with excellent length and a mineral aftertaste.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

The Monprivato vineyard continues to provide a textbook expression of Barolo's limestone terroir in Castiglione Falletto, with slopes and elevation that moderate the continental climate and encourage slow ripening. The 2019 vintage was warm and regular throughout the year, with favourable flowering conditions and steady development through August and September. Mature vines on limestone soils produced concentrated Nebbiolo grapes with full phenolic ripeness, contributing to a wine of depth and structure.

Vinification

Harvested grapes fermented in large wooden vats following traditional protocols, with natural yeast populations and unhurried fermentation timelines. Post-fermentation, the wine was transferred to large Slavonian oak barrels where it underwent approximately three years of maturation. This extended élevage in neutral wood preserves the wine's mineral character and allows the integration of tannins, resulting in a structured wine that reflects both the vintage's warmth and the vineyard's natural acidity and complexity.

About this Wine

Piedmont

Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) is probably the finest wine region in all of Italy, and has laid claim to this since Roman times. It has a continental climate influenced by the surrounding Alps and Ligurian Apennines, and is located in the north-west of Italy, bordering both France and Switzerland.

Piedmont has only 1% of the total vineyards of Bordeaux and 15% that of Burgundy. So while a top Chateaux may produce upwards of 35,000 cases a year, leading Barolo producers will often make only 800 cases. More than half of its vineyards are registered with DOC designations and many are in the Apennine or Alpine foothills, from 300-600m above sea level. Most of the wines are produced by smaller family estates rather than larger holdings.

Piedmont has 46 different DOC and four DOCG regions, and produces the largest number of well known, world-recognized, prize-winning wines. The most famous would have to be Barolo or Barbaresco, whose power comes from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The most widely planted red variety is Barbera although Dolcetto, Muscat, Shiraz and Bonarda are also produced.

The white variety most well known is Moscato, which is often made into frizzante (bubbly) wines known as Asti. Cortese is made into the popular Gavi wines, and smaller amounts of Chardonnay and high quality Sparkling are also produced in the far north of Piedmont.
