This release is one of Giuseppe Mascarello’s flagship wines which comes from a single vineyard or ‘cru’ called Monprivato. This vineyard is located in the commune of Castiglione Falletto, known for producing exceptional Barolos. The 2007 vintage is generally considered to be a very good year for Barolo wines. The growing season was marked by favourable weather conditions, including warm temperatures and consistent sunshine.

Vinous
Medium red. Subtle, reticent, very pure nose offers perfumed scents of wild red cherry, rose petal and wild herbs; the most refined of Mascarello's 2007 Barolos. Wonderfully silky and fine-grained on the palate, but with terrific calcaire precision and lift. The wine's highly aromatic red cherry and floral flavors saturate the palate without leaving any impression of weight. This vintage of Monprivato includes about 4% each lampia and rose; the rest is michet, including the juice that normally goes into Mascarello's limited Ca d'Morrisio bottling. The very long finish features harmonious acidity and firm but suave tannins that reach the front teeth. A beauty.Stephen Tanzer1st November 2011
