Description
Giuseppe Mascarello’s Barolo Monprivato Riserva Ca d'Morisso 2017 is a rare, highly sought-after expression of Nebbiolo from one of Barolo’s most revered sites. Sourced from the famed Monprivato vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, it combines depth, precision, and remarkable elegance, reflecting both the pedigree of the vineyard and the meticulous care of the estate. As a Riserva, it stands among the most age-worthy wines in the Barolo hierarchy.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a brilliant garnet-red hue with the translucent brightness characteristic of great Nebbiolo. The nose is layered and complex, with aromas of red cherry, rose petal, wild berries, licorice, dried herbs, tar, and subtle earthy spice, unfolding with remarkable finesse.
The palate is powerful yet refined, offering firm, chalky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, savory finish. Expect a wine of impressive structure and balance, with the concentration to evolve beautifully over many years; in a strong vintage like 2017, it is built for long aging and will continue to gain nuance and harmony with cellaring.
Production
This wine comes from Monprivato, one of Barolo’s most iconic crus, located in the commune of Castiglione Falletto in Piedmont. The vineyard’s marl-rich soils and favorable exposition help produce Nebbiolo with exceptional fragrance, structure, and precision. Harvesting is typically done by hand, with rigorous selection to ensure only the best fruit reaches the cellar.
Vinification at Giuseppe Mascarello follows a traditional Barolo philosophy, emphasizing careful maceration and patient élevage to preserve site character and varietal purity. The Riserva designation underscores extended aging and the estate’s commitment to crafting a wine of depth, longevity, and classic expression.
Food & Serving
This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich, flavorful dishes such as braised beef, osso buco, truffle risotto, porcini pasta, game, and aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours to allow its aromas and structure to fully open, especially if enjoyed young.
