Why We're Buying
Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio Barolo Reserve DOCG has long been the banner wine of Piedmont. This nebbiolo serves as one of the last remaining titans of the Barolo generation, staying true to the traditional style decades later. Between 2017 and 2021, this red wine appreciated 65.8.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2010 Barolo Riserva Monprivato C d'Morissio is one of the defining wines of this iconic vintage. This important wine was not made in 2009 or 2011. There will be releases in 2012 and 2013. However, the Mascarello family is not yet sure about 2014. If they do release the wine in that vintage, bottle production will be very small. Generally speaking, 4,000 bottles is the normal production target. This wine should be released more or less as this report is published in late spring 2018. There is a lot to say here, starting with the bouquet that is precisely defined and layered. You get tones of forest fruit, crushed mineral, wild sage and balsam herb. There are renderings of iodine, anise seed and licorice as well. What stands out most is the wine's seamless integration. The tannins are firm and dry, with just enough latitude to offer future development. This wine ages in bottle for two and a half years before its commercial release. It should not be touched for at least 5 more years, or preferably more.
