    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    This is Monprivato at its best with its unmistakeably ethereal, lifting nose – scents of alpine strawberry and rose. This 2014 has got everything Monprivato lovers could possibly want. Intense small red berry, Gariguette strawberry, rose petal and rock salt flow briskly but seamlessly across the palate. Wonderfully crisp and taut without losing any of its charm. Stunning. A Castiglione Falleto vineyard that is one of the finest, most hallowed plots in the whole of Barolo. A steep south west facing vineyard with a very white limestone based soil that gives profound, mineral wines. Aged for 36 months in large oak vats.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2014 Barolo Monprivato is one of the finest Barolos I have tasted from the Mascarello family in a number of years. That is all the more remarkable considering a challenging growing season in which conditions were so tough that Mauro Mascarello did not want to show me his vineyard that summer. In the glass, though, the 2014 is gorgeous. Perfumed, bright and gracious, the 2014 captures all the best that was possible. Sage, mint, lavender and dark red/purplish berries add nuance to this super-expressive, transparent Barolo. Although the 2014 is not an epic Monprivato, it is a very beautiful wine. More importantly, let's hope it represents a return to the level of quality that was the norm at this reference-point estate up until 2009.
