Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Riserva Monprivato Cà d'Morissio 2017

From a very small sub-plot in Monprivato planted exclusively to the Michet clone / biotype.  Along with Giacomo Conterno’s Monfortino – these are the two most sought after bottlings of Barolo in the world. 

 97 Points, Galloni - “The 2017 Barolo Riserva Monprivato Cà d'Morissio is a dark, brooding beauty. Black cherry, gravel, graphite, incense, scorched earth, licorice and dried herbs stain the palate. Light on its feet, with deceptive depth and tons of intensity, the 2017 deftly marries elegance and power. It's a striking wine from the Mascarello family.” 

 97 Points, , View from the Cellar - John Gilman – “From this warm and early vintage, the 2017 Barolo Riserva Cà d'Morissio is layered and expressive with aromas of sweet citrus, red fruits, wild herbs, apricot, and subtle rustic tones that are beautifully woven into its fabric. Medium to full-bodied, it carries the unmistakable elegance and precision of Mascarello despite the warmth of the year. Polished tannins and vibrant acidity give the wine impressive balance and persistence, showing both richness and finesse.” Drink 2026-2056 

 96 Points, Kerin O’Keefe – “One of the most iconic wines in the Barolo denomination, the 2017 Monprivato Ca’ d’Morissio Riserva doesn’t disappoint, starting with its heady fragrance that combines underbrush, saffron, leather and cake spice aromas. Full-bodied, earthy and delicious, the succulent palate features ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, truffle and cinnamon. Firm, close-grained but well integrated tannins provide support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced.”
