Giuseppe Mascarello – Barolo Monprivato Cà d’Morissio Riserva – 2012

Barolo Riserva Ca d’Morissio represents the absolute class of the nebbiolo grape variety. Produced only in the best vintages in the Riserva version, it is the result of a mass selection of the old nebbiolo clone “Michet” already planted in the Monprivato vineyard by ninth Maurice in 1920. This clone, so rare to find nowadays, is famous for giving nebbiolos more intense aromas and color without lacking structure. Thanks to this type of nebbiolo and the sand-rich soils present in the Monprivato vineyard, they give the wines unparalleled elegance and longevity. In this case, the wine underwent traditional vinification for about 20 days with the cap emerged and aging for at least 40 months in medium-capacity oak barrels, plus a long rest in the bottle. The wine is released after about 7 years. A supreme, delicate wine with fine tannins, heady aromas, capable of giving its best after 10 years. Don’t rush it!!!

Description

The Giuseppe Mascarello winery is one of the wineries with the most history and tradition in the entire Langa; the winery was founded in 1881 by Giuseppe when he bought a plot of land in the commune of Monforte d’Alba. In 1904 Maurizio, Giuseppe’s son, bought the Monprivato vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, one of the most beautiful cru in the area, famous for giving very elegant wines but nevertheless with a great aging potential.
It was in this vineyard that a number of nebbiolo da Barolo vines were planted, grafted with the rare michet clone, famous for giving more intense aromas and sweetness to nebbiolos. To this day, the same michet clone is used for Barolo Monprivato and the reserve Ca’ d’ Morissio. In the following years production has expanded to Barbera and Dolcetto as well as Nebbiolo and Barolo, but always grown in excellent vineyards with the best exposures.
The style is always very classic, with the exclusive use of only large Slavonian oak barrels for aging and minimal intervention in the vineyard with treatments and very low yields ( about 60 to 65 quintals of grapes per hectare ).
