"Utterly magnificent" -Antonio Galloni
2004 Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato
The 2004 dramatizes the magic of Monprivato.
Monprivato is a special wine. It is one of the purest, most elegant expressions of Nebbiolo.
I've always loved the 2004, but as Galloni's note from earlier this year makes clear, it has really blossomed with some time in bottle.

Monprivato is one of the most distinctive Barolos around. It boasts a level of elegance, clarity of expression and beautifully nuanced complexity that's heartbreaking. There's a unique and very compelling mingling of fruit, flower and earth with an incredible finesse.
The life of Monprivato is legendary. It can age for decades. Over time, it shows its breeding to an even greater extent and gets even more beautifully aromatic and transparent. With time, a beguiling depth and perfume emerges.
2004 is a very strong vintage for Piedmont, but even in this context the Monprivato is brilliant. Few wines reached this level of refinement and delineation.
I'm very happy to be able to return to the 2004 Monprivato. It's such a beautiful example of this wine. As you can imagine, this is a small parcel. Please give us your ideal order and we'll do our best.
