Mascarello Monprivato Barolo 2017 – Piedmont, Italy
by Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio

An icon of traditional Barolo, Monprivato 2017 is a pure and profound expression of Nebbiolo from one of the greatest single vineyards in Castiglione Falletto. The Mascarello family has farmed Monprivato for generations, producing Barolo of remarkable elegance, longevity, and classical structure.

The 2017 vintage was warm and concentrated, yet Mascarello’s traditional winemaking — long macerations and ageing in large Slavonian oak casks — preserves balance, structure, and aromatic purity.
