2020 Giuseppe Mascarello, Barolo, Monprivato 1×1.5L

Vinous 98

The 2020 Barolo Monprivato is without question one of the finest wines to emerge from these cellars in many years. Translucent and layered, with captivating textural depth, the 2020 is positively stellar. Bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, white pepper, blood orange and dried rose petal come alive in the glass. This statuesque Barolo simply has it all. It’s great to see the Mascarello family making truly pedigreed wines once again. To find a Monprivato of this exceptionally high level, readers will have to go back to the 1989. That’s how outstanding the 2020 is. [Antonio Galloni, 09/01/2025]

Anticipated maturity: 2027-2050

The Wine Spectator 96

“Exuding strawberry, cherry, rose and mineral aromas and flavors, this elegant red is vigorous yet shows superb harmony and equilibrium. Vibrant acidity and refined tannins lend support as the aftertaste echoes the red fruit notes. Best from 2028 through 2045.” [96, 04/30/2025]

Anticipated maturity: 2028-2045
