Barolo's aristocrat, in a powerful vintage. Giuseppe Mascarello, led by Mauro Mascarello, is an old-guard traditional estate ageing its wines in Slavonian casks now some 70 years old, and Monprivato, their largely family-held cru in Castiglione Falletto, ranks among the most prestigious vineyards in the Langhe, its calcareous-marl soils yielding refined, long-lived Nebbiolo. The 2006 was a structured, powerful, deeply tannic vintage built for the long haul, and this remains a serious wine, now entering its prime but with years ahead. Decant generously and pair with rich food.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2006 Barolo Monprivato (magnum) moves us into another register, a register defined by power and textural intensity. Dark fruit, lavender, spice, graphite and crushed rocks open first, before swaths of tannin make themselves felt on the mid-palate and finish. Readers lucky enough to own the 2006 are in for a real treat." —Antonio Galloni

"First bottle corked. Second bottle: Mid bricky red. Fragrant and inviting. Senescent red fruit – but still so much fruit – and a light floral note, roses and rose hips, such tangy sweetness. Leathery and dried cherries on the palate, firm but silky tannins. So gorgeously scented on the nose and palate and just a little bit of grip to the tannins. All in perfect harmony. Opens out to a hint of lavender. Incredibly long. Gorgeous." —Julia Harding MW

More about Giuseppe Mascarello

Giuseppe Mascarello's origins trace to 1881 in Monforte d'Alba, now representing over 130 years of Barolo tradition. Mauro Mascarello and his son Giuseppe avoid new French oak entirely, aging in decades-old Slavonian oak botti purchased in the 1950s. These are classically-made Barolos—Monprivato is the crown jewel—that taste like the region's soul distilled into a bottle.
