Giuseppe Mascarello’s Masterful Monprivato

Undisputedly one of Piedmont’s most refined and elegant wines, Mascarello’s legendary Monprivato remains a crown jewel in the kingdom of classic Barolo.
Named in local land registries as early as 1666, along with Renato Ratti’s short list of Barolo’s greatest vineyards in 1985, few vineyards capture the history and prestige of this hallowed Castiglione Falletto site.

With its elegant curves and mineral-tinged red fruits, this is a wine of concentration and intensity, but not without restraint. Delicate, ethereal fruits hover atop a precise framework of powerful tannin, one that will unfurl itself if given six to ten years but patiently evolves for decades thereafter.

Now in the hands of its fifth generation, the Mascarello family carries on its well-deserved legacy as one of the region’s revered old guards, masterfully crafting a flagship that captures not only the essence of classical Piedmontese winemaking, but the true magnificence its single crus have to offer.

Whether you’re after the peak of its maturity with the 2001s, or the promising potential of the already approachable 2017s and 2018s, discover the full range of this Italian reference point today with Sotheby’s latest Monprivato release!
