Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello Monprivato Barolo 2017 (75cl, 14.5%)

A single-vineyard Barolo from Piedmont, made by Giuseppe Mascarello e Figlio from the Monprivato vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. It relies on the Nebbiolo Michét clone, originally planted in 1921. Fermentation follows the cappello sommerso technique, and the wine is aged for over 30 months in large Slavonian oak casks. Aromas include scarlet strawberry, raspberry, wild rose petals, lilac, mint, bay leaf and wildflowers. The palate shows crushed red berry fruit, blood orange, fine spice, cassis, mineral intensity and wild cherry, with a long finish of floral and mineral notes, tar and dried herbs.
