Why We're Buying
Wines from Mauro Mascarello and his family require the utmost patience. Their serious and focused reds require an extended stay in the cellar to reach their full potential. Fortunately for 2013 Giuseppe Mascarello Monprivato, this classically-styled nebbiolo is on a promising trajectory. Perfumed notes of red fruits, violets, cherry liqueur, and licorice engulf the senses from the start. (Like a trip to Forever 21 or Abercrombie & Fitch, but actually enjoyable.) The aromatic intensity is matched only by the bright scarlet body, flush with firm tannins and refreshing acidity. The slightly chewy Barolo gains momentum slowly, leaving the palate with a mineral-laden finish. Prepare for this youthful red to only add more weight and intensity with time. The Final Sip: Kick back and relax as the austere 2013 Giuseppe Mascarello Monprivato mellows into the best version of itself over the coming years.
Critics Scores
Wine Spectator
A perfumed style, boasting floral, cherry, kirsch and licorice flavors. Slightly chewy, yet elegant overall, with fine balance and a lingering finish of macerated cherry, earth and tobacco notes. Shows fine length and intensity, leaving an essence of mineral. Best from 2021 through 2043. (BS)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
These wines from Mauro Mascarello and his family all need more time to open, but rest assured they are heading down the right path. Like the others, the 2013 Barolo Monprivato is taking its sweet time. The wine opens to a brilliant ruby hue. This beautiful color intensity and even tonality is very characteristic of this cooler vintage. The wine is still on the nervous side, with tight tannins and cooling acidity. But it is also very elegant and fine in terms of its aromatic output. It will gain more volume and intensity with time. My score seeks to underline where this wine will be in a decade or more. (ML)
Wine Enthusiast
Elegant and fragrant, this radiant wine opens with classic Nebbiolo aromas of forest floor, crushed herb, dried rose, wild berry and a whiff of new leather. The focused, ethereal palate sneaks up on you, offering red cherry, spiced cranberry, wild strawberry and licorice alongside firm, refined tannins. Bright acidity lends balance, energy and tension. It's still youthfully austere so give it time to develop even more complexity. Drink 2023-2033. (KO'K)
