Winemaker Notes

Viticulture: Avg. Yield: 28 hL/hA. Vinification: ~25 days with floating cap. Aging: Aging: 48 months in 25-27 HL casks. Vineyard: In 1983, having made several great Barolos from Monprivato, Mauro began replanting a two-acre section of the vineyard, using a Nebbiolo clone originally planted in Monprivato in 1921 by his grandfather Morissio. Mauro theorized that this clone—of the Michét subvariety had become uniquely adapted to the Monprivato terroir. Mauro’s goal was to produce a super-riserva Barolo called Cà d’Morissio. Orientation: Southwest.

Professional Ratings

97 Vinous

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.

About the Producer

With the world increasingly enchanted by the magic of classical Barolo, the Giuseppe Mascarello estate’s Barolo Monprivato has emerged as one of the region’s crown jewels. Such acclaim is long overdue for a winemaker whose track record dates back more than six decades. But it was also inevitable: now that Giovanni Conterno, Bartolo Mascarello, and Beppe Rinaldi are gone, he is the last of his generation of great, classically inspired Barolo winemakers. Like his fellow icons, Mauro is a traditionalist dedicated to long fermentations and aging in old botti grandi .
