Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2010
Mauro Mascarello does not disappoint with his stunning 2010 Barolo Monprivato. This is an impeccable expression from Castiglione Falletto that imparts an immense sense of purity and elegance. The bouquet opens slowly to reveal pressed flower, cola, dried ginger, forest fruit and balsam herb. This is a magnificent expression of Nebbiolo that changes and shifts each time you come back to contemplate its aromas. That magical fluidity is also present in the mouth. The wine presents silky tannins and crisp fruit flavors...This is a true beauty. eRobertParker.com

My brainy and beautiful assistant Sarah w a 2010 Monprivato. Basket of fresh picked morels, rose petals, dried thyme, blood, slate. Young but still giving.

This was absolutely beautiful. Gave it a 2 hour decant and probably better at hour 4 than 2 but it’s marginal. Quite a “classic nebbiolo” lighter color in the glass. The aromatics on this wine are crazy - so much dark cherry and earth and a bit of licorice. Perfectly balanced with great body and a very long finish. The tannins are there but not at all overbearing and there is good acid to keep it refreshing. Perfect with a bone in dry aged ribeye.

Pristine, finessed with plenty of intensity, notes of red roses, sweet red cherries, orange peel, spices. A bit dusty, already, with firm tannins.

2010 vintage. Elegant, pure, Pommard like. Bursting cherry, cranberry, strawberry preserves, raspberry, great texture. Will only get better with time.

Young Monprivato is never that great to taste, with age only bringing about its greatness. However this vintage is pretty good young.

Brilliance in a bottle. Even heftier than when I sampled it from cask in Barolo last July. This baby needs time.

Lovely Barolo. Last had 4 years ago. Honestly was probably a smidge better then, I wouldn’t wait on this one any further. Aromatically quite wonderful and classic. Excellent mouthfeel, with great depth and finish. Delicious with garlic and fennel seed crusted pork chops. Decanted 1.5 hours, not sure it was needed.
