2003 was one of the hottest years on record for Barolo—months of sweltering heat that forced grapes to ripen fast and pushed wines toward richness and power. But Giuseppe Mascarello's traditional approach in the Monprivato vineyard balanced that intensity with restraint and old-world technique. The result is a stunner: dusty stone, dried cherry, leather, and perfumed raspberry wrapped in soft tannins. This wine shows what happens when a committed traditionalist works with difficult conditions—the heat shaped it into something lean but firmly structured, with a personality all its own.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"The 2003 Barolo Monprivato (magnum) is one of the real surprises of the night. Rich and textured in the glass, with striking vibrancy, the 2003 is positively stellar. Soaring floral and spice notes extend the mid-palate and finish. From magnum, the 2003 Monprivato is sublime. It's very clearly the most impressive wine in this first flight. What a fabulous showing." -Antonio Galloni
